The construction of a new production plant will start at the end of 2015. It will be located in the Podkarpackie Province in southeast Poland. This dedicated production facility will harness the region's mechanical expertise and draw on the experience of the Hispano-Suiza Polska facility located in Sedziszow Malopolski. The new plant will initially grow to approximately 110 people and the first deliveries are expected in 2017.

"I would like to congratulate everybody at Rolls-Royce and Hispano-Suiza who contributed to the creation of this new joint venture," said Hélène Moreau-Leroy, CEO of Hispano-Suiza. "Aero Gearbox International carries on the long-standing relationship between our two companies, and allows Hispano-Suiza to secure its world leadership in the accessory drive train market for mainline commercial jets."

Norbert Arndt, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President - Structures and Transmissions, said, "Rolls-Royce's market lead in the Civil Large Engine market is built on innovation alongside proven expertise. This joint venture delivers both. I'm proud of what our teams have created and am sure our customers across the total civil engine business will be delighted."
