Investing in America
Rolls-Royce believes that American workers can innovate and thrive in the international marketplace, and the company is
investing heavily in the United States. To help fulfill more than $96 billion in orders, 1 our recent capital investments include:
Virginia
At Rolls-Royce’s sprawling, new Crosspointe facility near Richmond, workers build precision-engineered fan
discs and other engine parts for some of the most advanced aircraft in the world, including the Boeing 787.
Rolls-Royce already has created 150 new high-tech jobs in Virginia, with more jobs expected in coming years.
The company made an initial $170 million capital investment, and we will make additional investments at
Crosspointe in the near future. Crosspointe’s advanced manufacturing and research campus is thriving based
upon partnerships critical to the future of American jobs and the economy. These Rolls-Royce partners include
local governments, Virginia’s leading colleges and universities and major corporations.
Mississippi
Rolls-Royce is building a new $50 million jet engine test center in Mississippi. Located at our Outdoor Jet
Engine Test Facility at NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, this second test stand is
expected to create 35 new jobs. Already, more than 150 American workers are employed at three Rolls-Royce
facilities in Mississippi.
Indiana
In Indianapolis, the company has invested more than $22 million in a new state-of-the-art office complex in
downtown Indianapolis. The sleek offices will house 2,500 engineers and professional staff; another 2,000
employees work in our other Indiana facilities.
Also in Indianapolis, in March 2012, the company announced a $42 million new advanced manufacturing
facility to build engine components for the company’s Trent XWB, Trent 1000, AE Series and T56 engines.
