Rolls-Royce has announced plans to invest up to £60 million in its facility in Inchinnan, Renfrewshire.

The company will create a new Centre of Competence (CoC) for the manufacture of aerofoils and a new location for the manufacture of mainline engine shafts.

The new CoC will manufacture an extensive range of aerofoils, including turbine and compressor components, for Rolls-Royce engines that are no longer in high volume production.

The new location for the manufacture of mainline shafts will produce components that sit in the core of all Rolls-Royce aero engines.

Mike Mosley, Rolls-Royce, Chief Operating Officer – Supply Chain, said: "Our investment in Inchinnan demonstrates our commitment to innovative technology and world-class facilities which will improve performance and drive profitable growth for our business."

The company initially invested £85 million in the facility at Inchinnan and has continued to invest over the last decade.
