South Korea’s Hanwha Techwin has entered into a deal with United Technologies International Corporation-Asia to purchase a 30% equity interest in Pratt & Whitney (P&W) subsidiary P&W NGPF Manufacturing Company Singapore (PWMS).

PWMS currently manufactures hybrid metallic fan blade parts and high-pressure turbine disks for the company’s PurePower geared turbofan (GTF) engine family.

According to the new joint venture deal, P&W will continue to own the sourcing of critical parts and share capital investment requirements with Hanwha.

Hanwha also bought a call option from P&W to purchase more equity by 2023.

"The acquisition of Samsung Techwin by Hanwha in June 2015 created what we believe is a generational opportunity for both companies."

Expected to be completed by the end of this month, the deal has also increased increasing Hanwha's programme share on both P&W's 24,000lb and 30,000lb thrust GTF engine programmes by 1% each.

P&W strategy and business development vice-president Dave Emmerling said: "The acquisition of Samsung Techwin by Hanwha in June 2015 created what we believe is a generational opportunity for both companies.
