GE Aerospace has officially opened its new XEOS Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Środa Śląska, Poland—a major milestone aimed at strengthening global support for the company’s high-performance LEAP engines.
The new center, developed in partnership with Lufthansa Technik, is dedicated to servicing LEAP series engines, which power some of the world’s most widely used next-generation aircraft, including the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX. These engines, known for their fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and advanced design, are produced by CFM International, a 50/50 joint venture between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines.
Strategically located in Central Europe, the XEOS facility is set to play a key role in GE’s global network of support for its airline customers. The site was selected not only for its geographic accessibility but also for Poland’s growing reputation as a hub for aerospace innovation and skilled engineering talent.
A Modern Facility for a New Era of Aviation
The XEOS MRO center is designed with future-focused technology and sustainability in mind. Outfitted with advanced digital systems, robotics, and environmentally conscious practices, the facility reflects GE Aerospace’s commitment to efficiency and innovation. It enables precise diagnostics, faster turnaround times, and highly accurate repairs—all crucial to keeping the global fleet of LEAP engines operating at peak performance.
As global air travel continues to rebound, airlines are increasingly dependent on reliable, fuel-efficient engines. The LEAP engine, with its cutting-edge materials and architecture, is central to many carriers’ plans for reducing carbon emissions while meeting growing passenger demand. The XEOS center will help airlines keep those engines in top condition.
Boosting Local Industry and Global Reach
The opening of the XEOS center is also a boost for the Polish economy, creating hundreds of highly skilled jobs and reinforcing the country’s place in the global aerospace supply chain. For GE Aerospace, it’s part of a broader strategy to build a decentralized, flexible network of engine support centers that can quickly respond to customer needs.
With Poland’s expanding footprint in the high-tech manufacturing sector, the new facility is expected to serve as a hub not only for engine maintenance but also for talent development and future aerospace innovation in the region.
Looking to the Future
As sustainability and operational efficiency become even more critical in aviation, GE Aerospace’s investment in the XEOS MRO facility positions it to meet evolving demands. The center represents a fusion of cutting-edge technology, environmental stewardship, and global collaboration.
By opening this advanced engine service hub in Poland, GE Aerospace strengthens its commitment to keeping the world flying efficiently, safely, and sustainably—one engine at a time.
