Magellan Aerospace announced today that it will open a new, advanced, precision machining facility in Mielec, Poland. The new machining centre complements Magellan’s existing surface treatment facility in Poland and is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2015. The facility will initially specialise in the production of small to medium size components for the aerospace market, and will be further expanded to incorporate precision assembly and aeroengine machining. The expansion of Magellan’s operations in Poland are in support of our customers’ growing demand for globalisation.

Phil Underwood, President and CEO of Magellan Aerospace commented that “This expansion of our capability in Poland, in conjunction with our expanding footprint in India, will strengthen Magellan’s competitive advantage and demonstrate our commitment to supporting our customers’ emerging market sourcing requirements”.
