GE Aerospace to Buy Consolidated Precision Products for $11.75 Billion
The engine maker said the mixed-structure purchase of a casting supplier is meant to expand capacity across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense.
GE Aerospace (GE) agreed to acquire Consolidated Precision Products in a mixed-structure transaction valued at $11.75 billion to secure mission-critical casting capacity as demand runs across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense.
The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2027. The purchase is intended to support that simultaneous demand and accelerate new engine technologies.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., framed the acquisition as a capacity play rather than a product-line extension. “Investing in mission-critical casting capacity is needed to support the strong simultaneous demand across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense. By combining GE Aerospace’s technology capabilities and FLIGHT DECK with CPP’s manufacturing experience, we expect to expand capacity, improve performance and accelerate new engine technologies for the current fleet and next-generation platforms,” he said.
The company named Avio Aero, Unison and Dowty as comparable deals. Those references sit inside a broader aerospace aftermarket and component-supply market in which large buyers have been consolidating proprietary parts and repair capacity. TransDigm Group (TDG) agreed in July 2026 to buy Prince & Izant, a maker of brazing alloys and specialty metal components, for about $1.066 billion in cash, including certain tax benefits. VSE Corporation (VSEC) agreed in January 2026 to acquire Precision Aviation Group for about $2.025 billion in cash and equity, a transaction it completed in May 2026. TransDigm also completed a $2.2 billion cash purchase of Jet Parts Engineering and Victor Sierra Aviation Holdings in April 2026.
GE Aerospace’s rationale is narrower than those aftermarket roll-ups: it is buying casting capacity to feed its own engine programs and aftermarket, not to build a standalone parts distributor. The combination of its technology and FLIGHT DECK with CPP’s manufacturing experience is expected to expand capacity and improve performance.
The second-half 2027 close leaves a long integration runway. The acquisition is meant to support the current fleet and next-generation platforms, tying the timing of the capacity build to engine programs that extend beyond the near-term aftermarket cycle.
