Rolls-Royce North America is adding about 100 jobs at its Crosspointe manufacturing plant this year.
Employment at the company’s factory should reach 400 or more by the end of this year, as it adds production to meet demand in the aircraft industry, said Lorin S. Sodell, manufacturing executive at the plant.
