Woidke and Ambassador's Tour at Rolls-Royce's Engine Model 9000 - Politician Woidke and Ambassador Pay a Visit to Rolls-Royce Facility
In a significant milestone for the aerospace industry, Rolls-Royce, the renowned British engineering company, celebrated the delivery of its 9,000th engine at its Dahlewitz site in Brandenburg, south of Berlin. The celebration, which took place on Monday at 10:00 AM, was attended by high-profile guests, including Minister President Dietmar Woidke (SPD) of Brandenburg and British Ambassador Andrew Mitchell, who made his inaugural visit to Brandenburg during the event.
The Dahlewitz site, where Rolls-Royce designs, assembles, and maintains aircraft engines, employs around 2,500 people. This site has been a cornerstone of Rolls-Royce's operations in Germany for many years, contributing significantly to the region's aviation industry.
The event marked another milestone in Rolls-Royce's success story, being 30 years after the start of engine assembly at the Dahlewitz site. This achievement underscores the company's commitment to innovation and growth in the region.
Rolls-Royce's presence in Brandenburg and Berlin extends beyond engine manufacturing. The company's former head of Rolls-Royce Germany, Karsten Mühlenfeld, became CEO of Berlin Brandenburg Airport in March 2015. The Berlin Brandenburg area is currently focused on developing key aviation infrastructure, notably the Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), which consolidates Berlin’s air traffic. Expansion in this area, including increased industrial activities such as engine manufacturing, could be strategically linked to the airport’s role as a major hub.
Moreover, Rolls-Royce has actively worked on advanced engine technology collaborations, such as with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) on cleaner combustion chambers reducing soot emissions. These collaborations indicate ongoing innovation and likely regional industrial activity.
The economic benefits of Rolls-Royce's activities in Brandenburg and Berlin are far-reaching. Job creation in high-tech manufacturing, technology transfer, and strengthening the local aerospace ecosystem are just a few examples. Leveraging the proximity to the Berlin Brandenburg Airport as a logistics and mobility hub further enhances these benefits.
In addition to the celebration, Rolls-Royce also announced plans to expand its Dahlewitz site. The details of this expansion are yet to be revealed, but it is expected to further boost the company's operations and contribute to the region's economic growth.
This milestone event underscores Rolls-Royce's continued commitment to Germany and the Brandenburg region, and it serves as a testament to the company's innovative spirit and strategic vision. As Rolls-Royce continues to grow and innovate, it is poised to make a significant impact on the region's aerospace industry and economy.
- The delivery of Rolls-Royce's 9,000th engine highlights the company's long-standing presence and industry-leading position in the aerospace sector, particularly at its Dahlewitz site in Brandenburg.
- The Dahlewitz site not only serves as a cornerstone for Rolls-Royce's operations in Germany but also contributes significantly to the region's overall aviation and business sector.
- Rolls-Royce's expansion plans for its Dahlewitz site, yet to be disclosed, are expected to further promote advancements in technology, generate more jobs, and boost the region's economic growth.
- Moreover, Rolls-Royce's collaborations with entities like the German Aerospace Center (DLR) on cleaner engine technology not only demonstrate the company's ongoing commitment to innovation but also signal potential developments in regional industrial activities in fields such as technology and finance.
