Milliardenübernahme: GE Aerospace übernimmt Triebwerkszulieferer CPP

In a significant move, GE Aerospace, a US-based engine manufacturer, has announced its intention to acquire Consolidated Precision Products (CPP), a leading manufacturer of aerospace components. The acquisition is set to be completed for $11.75 billion, with CPP currently owned by financial investors Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners. This strategic move comes as global aerospace companies strive to ramp up production and mitigate disruptions in supply chains.

Larry Culp, the CEO of GE Aerospace, highlighted the importance of investing in critical casting capacities to cater to the strong demand for commercial engines, replacement parts, and defense applications. By acquiring CPP, GE Aerospace aims to expand its capabilities and drive innovation in aircraft engine technology. CPP, headquartered in Cleveland, is one of the world's largest producers of precision cast components for the aviation and defense industries.

The company employs around 6,600 people across more than 20 locations globally and has been a GE Aerospace supplier for over 15 years. The acquisition is expected to be finalized in the second half of 2027.
