Rolls-Royce announces new Savannah customer service center [Savannah Morning News, Ga.]
Feb. 10 Rolls-Royce has been building engines for Gulfstream since the Savannah company’s aircraft featured propellers, not jet turbines, in its early days.
Now, Gulfstream and Rolls-Royce are building on that decades-long partnership with the opening of the new Rolls-Royce Savannah Customer Service Centre. The 62,000 square-foot Rolls-Royce center is located adjacent to Gulfstream’s Service Center East.
The two companies have had a partnership since the development of the Gulfstream I in the 1950s. Rolls-Royce currently produces engines for Gulfstream’s G550 and G650 jets and is developing a new powerplant, the Pearl 700, to power the G700 jet.

The Bay Area struck a hard bargain with its tech workers. Rent was astronomical. Taxes were high. Your neighbors didn’t like you. If you lived in San Francisco, you might have commuted an hour south to your job at Apple or Google or Facebook.
