GE Aviation Bromont in Bromont, Quebec has embraced advanced manufacturing—the integration of hardware and software—with a passion that’s made it the most productive plant in the GE Aviation global supply chain. That reputation for excellence led directly to its selection as the new home of the $61-million GE Aviation Global Robotics, Automation and Instrumentation R&D Centre, which opened in July with $8 million in assistance from Investissement Quebec and the Ministère des Finances et de l’Économie du Québec.

The Bromont plant currently manufactures jet engine components for the Airbus 320 and Boeing 737, 787 and 747-8 aircraft. Its production level approaches 3 million parts per year, more than triple its output in 1990.
