As a leader in aviation piston engine manufacturing, Lycoming’s fully automatic, robotic piston production line combines unmatched piston quality and consistency with manufacturing efficiency.

Defining a new standard of piston manufacturing.

Our Piston Manufacturing Line uses the utmost precision through state-of-the-art technology and is operated by our dedicated, highly skilled team of employees. Genuine Lycoming pistons undergo automated quality checks between each step in the manufacturing process and at the completion of the production cycle, as well as regular manual inspections. We mark genuine Lycoming pistons with a part-specific serial number to improve tracking and quality control.

Controlling production from start to finish.

Our multi-million dollar in-house production capability was procured and installed by the Lycoming team. The installation took much coordination, dedication and support from employees and our partners.

Our piston manufacturing line is an integral part of 

our factory. It showcases our continual advancements in technology and processes, and our commitment to supporting our business's growth and the needs of our customers. The Lycoming team is proud of our constant effort to bring manufacturing processes back to our factory in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
