As part of a significant investment to expand its engineering, digital technology and manufacturing operations in India, Collins Aerospace, a unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp., has officially inaugurated its new Global Engineering and Technology Centre (GETC) and Collins India Operations Centre in Bengaluru. The new sites are part of a long-term growth strategy for Raytheon Technologies in India and globally to maximise collaboration and innovation providing cutting-edge solutions for customers and to provide additional STEM-based opportunities in the country.
Approximately 3,000 engineers from three other Collins Aerospace locations in Bengaluru, as well as about 600 personnel from other Raytheon Technologies’ group of companies will be moving into the 413,000 ft² GETC at Northgate Tech Park to facilitate collaboration across the company’s businesses, with plans to expand its footprint on the three-acre site next year with new capabilities. Pratt & Whitney’s United Technologies Corporation India Pvt Ltd. (UTCIPL) contract engineering services is also planned to open in early 2023 at the same location.
“The opening of these new facilities in Bengaluru shows our continued commitment in India, expanding our capabilities and accelerating transformative technologies for a safer, more connected and sustainable world,” said Dr Mauro Atalla, Senior-Vice President, Engineering & Technology for Collins Aerospace. “The GETC India organisation supports Collins’ six strategic business units and is crucial to the continued success of our global businesses.”
