The GE Aviation facility in Auburn made history in 2015 when it became the first mass manufacturing center to produce jet engine parts. GE Aviation remains at the forefront of research and development, and their impressive personnel have achieved yet another milestone - over 100,000 fuel nozzle tips to have shipped from the Auburn plant as of August 2021. GE Aviation’s accomplishments continue to highlight Alabama’s role in supporting the aerospace and defense industries.
