Pratt & Whitney

Pratt & Whitney began the production of aerospace engine parts at its North Berwick plant in September 1979. The plant is about 877,000 square feet, one of the largest manufacturing facilities in Maine under one roof.

The North Berwick facility manufactures 6 classes of parts - high and low compressor stators, outer air seals, non-cooled turbine vanes, low-pressure turbine blades, brush seals and bearing compartments.

Pratt & Whitney, North Berwick, has committed itself to environmental performance and compliance, with an emphasis on reducing natural resource consumption and waste.

Pratt & Whitney in its STEP-UP Program agreement has made the following commitments:

Reduce total energy consumption by 10% (approximately 9,753 MMBtu) by 2008, based on 2001 levels
Reduce the total amount of Air Emissions by 20% by 2008 based on 1999 levels and its Water Discharge by 30% by 2008 based on 2001 levels
Reduce the total amount of solid waste shipped off site for disposal by 15% by 2008, based on 2001 levels

Congratulations to Pratt & Whitney for pursuing environmentally sustainable ways of doing business.
