They buy them (to their spec’s) from Rolls Royce or GE or some other company.

GE - close, but no.

Rolls Royce - way off target.

some other company - third try, you got it right. CFM International - a joint venture of Safran (as in France) formerly known as Snecma, and GE Aviation.

Correct as regards the 737 MAX ... but in general, Boeing aircraft can also be had with Pratt & Whitney, GE or Rolls-Royce engines.

Just remembering what someone else told me about what Boeing buys.

I was under the impression that the airframe guys fitted whatever brand engines the customer ordered, selected from whomever made compatible engines.
