What happened
GE Aerospace announced on September 8, 2026, that it has signed an agreement to acquire Consolidated Precision Products for $11.75 billion. CPP, which specializes in highly engineered castings and sub-assemblies, is owned by private equity firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners. The purchase is expected to close in the second half of 2027.
Why it matters
The acquisition is intended to resolve casting bottlenecks that are contributing to GE Aerospace's $170 billion services backlog and rising spare-parts delinquency. CPP operates within an oligopoly of four companies that dominate the specialized casting space. By integrating CPP, GE Aerospace plans to expand capacity and accelerate new engine technologies.
