Rolls-Royce to expand jet-engine plant near Berlin – DW – 07/29/2025
At the British aerospace company's Dahlewitz site, high-tech engines are developed for commercial aircraft, business jets, and military planes. Thanks to full order books, it now wants to invest another €30 million.
Rolls-Royce's Dahlewitz facility near Berlin plays a critical role in the aviation industry, servicing advanced Trent turbines and producing dual-use engines for commercial and military jets like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350. These turbines offer superior thrust and fuel efficiency, allowing aircraft to fly longer and more reliably while reducing maintenance needs.
With €6 billion already invested and an additional €30 million planned, the company is responding to soaring global demand by hiring 100 skilled workers. The site contributes to NATO-compatible defence programs and anticipates market growth as global armament expands—though access to sensitive military projects is restricted for staff from certain nationalities due to security clearance requirements
