 "Praxair and GE Aviation form JV to develop specialised coatings")
Praxair Surface Technologies Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Praxair Inc, and GE Aviation have formed a joint venture, PG Technologies Llc, to develop specialised coatings for aircraft engines.
PG Technologies will focus on development, support and application of specialised coatings tailored for GE Aviation’s and CFM International’s current and future engine models, including the GE9X and LEAP engines. CFM International is a 50:50 joint venture company between GE and Safran Aircraft Engines of France.
“The formation of PG Technologies builds upon decades of collaboration between Praxair Surface Technologies and GE Aviation. This joint venture will take the leadership role in the next generation of coating technology applications and will invest in new coating production capacity to meet the needs of the burgeoning aviation sector,” said Pierre Lüthi, president of Praxair Surface Technologies, and PG Technologies board member.
Colleen Athans, vice president and general manager of GE Aviation’s supply chain, added, “PG Technologies will play an important role in GE Aviation’s engine manufacturing system. With engine production volume levels growing, GE’s need for specialised coatings will also increase, and this joint venture will ensure we meet our commitments on the performance and durability of our engines.”
