General Electric (GE) recently awarded a new, long-term agreement to Radnor-based TRIUMPH Group’s Geared Solutions business for Inlet Gearboxes (IGB) for the LEAP-1A, LEAP-1B, and LEAP-1C aircraft engine programs.
Under the contract extension, TRIUMPH will supply thousands of IGBs annually over the next decade.
“With this award, TRIUMPH remains GE’s preferred partner for Inlet Gearboxes in the single aisle market,” Pete Gibson, TRIUMPH Geared Solutions president, said. “This extension is the result of TRIUMPH’s investment in production capacity and the Macomb team’s quality, schedule, and cost performance across a wide range of gear and gearbox applications on GE engines. I appreciate the trust GE places in TRIUMPH Geared Solutions to support the accelerating narrow-body engine ramp across all three LEAP variants.”
Work will be performed at TRIUMPH Geared Solutions’ Macomb, Mich., facility.
For more than 35 years, GE and TRIUMPH have partnered on LEAP and CFM56 IGBs.
