Hartzell Propeller
Hartzell Propeller has opened its new innovation center in Piqua, Ohio.

Hartzell Propeller has opened a 150,000-sq-ft innovation center that will focus its efforts to help advance propulsion technology. The facility at its Piqua, Ohio, headquarters is backed by a $2 million grant from JobsOhio, with the company committing to invest more than $10 million in the center over the next five years on top of the $30 million already invested.

The facility houses production of both Hartzell’s carbon fiber aircraft propellers and its WhirlWind airboat propellers. Also under the same roof is the factory’s service center, which is part of Hartzell’s global support network.
