MTU AERO ENGINES POLSKA SPOLKA Z OGRANICZONA ODPOWIEDZIALNOSCIA

Their core work

MTU Aero Engines Polska is the Polish manufacturing arm of MTU Aero Engines AG, Germany's largest aircraft engine company. Based in Jasionka near Rzeszów in Poland's Aviation Valley, the plant produces low-pressure turbine components, engine cases, and other precision parts for commercial and military aero engines. Within H2020 they contributed as a linked third party to the Clean Sky 2 Engine Integrated Technology Demonstrator programme, supplying hardware, test data, and manufacturing know-how for next-generation low-emission aircraft engines. They also brought powder metallurgy and materials-modelling expertise to a cross-sector digital materials project.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their first H2020 engagement (2018-start), activity split between aviation hardware (ENG GAM 2018) and a digital materials track focused on powders, multiscale modelling and the ICME marketplace. By 2020 the materials-modelling thread drops out and their profile consolidates fully around Clean Sky 2 engine work, with keywords narrowing to engines, CS2 and demonstrators. The trajectory is clear: a short detour into digital materials infrastructure, then a return to their core business of aero-engine component development and demonstration.

They are doubling down on aero-engine demonstrator work inside the Clean Sky / Clean Aviation framework, making them a strong partner for hardware-level contributions to sustainable aviation programmes.

How they like to work

All three H2020 projects were entered as a third party rather than a formal beneficiary, which is typical for industrial suppliers contributing to Joint Undertaking GAMs through a parent-company linkage. Despite the indirect role, they have touched 59 different partners across 15 countries, reflecting the breadth of Clean Sky 2 engine consortia. Working with them means engaging their parent MTU group as the contracting partner while tapping the Polish plant for manufacturing and testing execution.

Connected to 59 partners across 15 European countries, mostly through the large Clean Sky 2 Engine ITD consortium. Their gravitational centre is German-Polish, anchored by the MTU group and the Rzeszów aviation cluster.

What sets them apart

Few Polish industrial sites combine serial aero-engine manufacturing with Clean Sky 2 R&D participation, and MTU Polska is the clearest example. Partnering with them gives a consortium access to a working production line for turbine components plus the engineering depth of the wider MTU group in Munich. They are a manufacturing-grade partner for moving aero-engine technology from prototype to hardware, not a paper contributor.

Highlights from their portfolio

• GAM-2020-ENG
  Their most recent Clean Sky 2 Engine GAM, covering full-scale demonstrators and setting up their continued role in Clean Aviation.
• ENG GAM 2018
  Entry point into the CS2 Engine ITD, tying them into the European low-emission combustion research agenda.
• MarketPlace
  An unexpected cross-sector project that shows their capability in powder technology and materials modelling beyond pure mechanical engineering.
