The US group Pursuit Aerospace is set to increase the floor space of its industrial site in Tunis – which specialises in the manufacture of precision components for aircraft engines – by 40 per cent, thereby boosting its production capacity in Tunisia.

The expansion, which is due to be completed in the second half of 2027, is expected to enable the Tunisian site to exceed the 1,000-employee mark, compared with several hundred at present.

Pursuit Aerospace announced this investment on 6 October as part of its efforts to strengthen its global capabilities in the field of aerospace foundry operations. Work began on 3 September with the construction of a third building, which will complement the group’s existing operational facilities in Tunisia.

Enhanced industrial capacity

The extension will bring the site’s total floor area to over 140,000 square feet, or more than 13,000 m², representing an increase of around 40 per cent on the current capacity.

In particular, the new building will enable the company to increase the production capacity of its furnaces and mould production lines, in order to keep pace with the growth in orders and meet the future needs of the aerospace market.

Based in Tunis, Pursuit Aerospace specialises in the manufacture of precision castings from nickel and cobalt alloys. Its components are primarily used in aircraft engines and form part of the supply chains of the world’s leading players in the aerospace industry.

This new expansion is therefore expected to consolidate Tunisia’s position as a competitive industrial hub for high value-added aerospace activities and to contribute to the creation of skilled jobs in the sector.

The investment also demonstrates the Tunisian site’s ability to support Pursuit Aerospace’s international growth and to meet the demands of a constantly evolving global aerospace industry.
