Overview
The United States is a key operational region for Rolls-Royce. We’ve been working in the U.S. for more than 100 years and today we employ nearly 6,000 people across 27 states. In the past five years, we’ve invested over $1 billion, enabling us to expand and develop a number of state-of-the-art facilities, including Crosspointe in Virginia and a $600 million modernization program in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The U.S. is home to many components of our civil aerospace business. Within the country, we have key manufacturing and repair sites, suppliers, partners, and customers. In 2016, we opened our Civil Aerospace Customer Service Centre – Americas in Washington, D.C. This centre helps support our airline customers across North and South America, delivering innovative data services, coordinating operational planning and leading customer account management. Our Cypress, California facility is dedicated to research and development of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials and processes for use in next generation aircraft engine components.
The U.S. Department of Defence is our largest defence customer in the world. We provide world-class products and services to help our military troops power their missions around the world. Many of our defence aerospace products are designed, engineered, manufactured and assembled in Indianapolis – our largest facility in the U.S.
In 2014, Rolls-Royce acquired MTU America, a brand under its Rolls-Royce Power Systems business. MTU is a supplier of diesel engines for off-highway applications, headquartered near Detroit, Michigan with major manufacturing facilities in Aiken, South Carolina and Mankato, Minnesota.
Purdue University, Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia are part of the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) partnership. We also have research programmes at other universities, including Georgia Tech, Iowa State University and the University of Illinois. UTCs and university research programmes allow Rolls-Royce to develop long-term research and technology programmes. Creating a UTC provides each party with mutual benefits through the funding of fundamental, collaborative research to advance key aerospace technologies critical to Rolls-Royce.
