Twenty-five years ago, German-based engine experts from MTU Aero Engines launched the Rocky Hill location with the first twenty-five employees. Today, that number has grown ten-fold - the Connecticut site now boasts over 250 employees and aims to continue expanding its workforce. Furthermore, MTU has made consistent investments in state of the art technology, equipment and a modern working environment. These milestones were celebrated with employees and representatives from local government and businesses on July 17 at the New England Air Museum, in Windsor Locks, CT.

MTU AENA was originally founded to support engineering collaboration for all partnership programs between German-based MTU Aero Engines and U.S.-based Pratt & Whitney. Over the years, MTU AENA has become a vital pillar of MTU's global engineering network. The team now supports more than 200 projects each year for MTU and 3rd party customers, with revenue having more than doubled over the last 10 years.
