WINNIPEG - Industrial giant General Electric (NYSE:GE) has opened a new $50 million aircraft engine testing, research and development centre in Winnipeg that could eventually create up to 50 jobs.
The U.S. company said Wednesday the centre will be run by joint venture partner StandardAero and will perform icing certification testing and develop other tests and equipment for GE Aviation's aircraft engines.
The new centre will employ 10 people initially and could expand to 50 jobs.
