GENERAL ELECTRIC CO · 2026-10-20 · Importance 47 · Surprise 60 · In source text

GE Aerospace agreed to acquire long-term supplier Consolidated Precision Products (CPP) to expand capacity for mission-critical castings. Management said the acquisition is intended to support delivery growth for GE Aerospace and the broader aerospace industry rather than create a captive supplier. CPP is also expected to bring development and manufacturing closer together for next-generation airfoils that can improve engine durability, efficiency, and cooling. GE Aerospace expects to spend more than $1 billion annually on capital expenditures and has increased LEAP fan-assembly output to more than double its prior level.
