The business

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) is a global integrated business providing highly engineered products, solutions, and services primarily to aerospace and defense markets, with additional exposure to critical commercial nuclear power, process, and industrial sectors. The company maintains its principal executive office in Davidson, North Carolina and operates through three reportable segments: Aerospace & Industrial, Defense Electronics, and Naval & Power.

The Aerospace & Industrial segment generates sales from commercial aerospace and general industrial markets, offering sensors, controls, electro-mechanical actuation components, surface technology services including shot peening and laser peening, and industrial vehicle products such as power management electronics and transmission shifters. The Defense Electronics segment supplies commercial off-the-shelf embedded computing modules, data acquisition equipment, tactical communications solutions, and electronic stabilization products to government entities and defense contractors, with platform-level content on more than 400 defense platforms and 3,000 programs worldwide. The Naval & Power segment provides naval propulsion equipment, main coolant pumps, generators, and steam turbines primarily to the U.S. Navy's submarine and aircraft carrier programs, alongside commercial nuclear power plant products including valves, fastening systems, and reactor coolant pumps, plus process market offerings in severe-service valve technologies and subsea pumping equipment.

Approximately 47 percent of total net sales derive from U.S. Government contracts and prime contractors, while no single customer represents more than 10 percent of revenues. The company operates principal domestic manufacturing facilities across Arizona, California, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina, with international operations in Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. As of the end of 2025, Curtiss-Wright employed approximately 9,100 people across more than 20 countries, with roughly six percent represented by labor unions.

The company traces its heritage to the Wright Brothers and their pioneering aviation work, maintaining competitive positions through engineering and technological leadership, precision manufacturing, and long-standing customer relationships. Curtiss-Wright's strategy emphasizes organic and inorganic growth, operational excellence, margin expansion, and disciplined capital allocation prioritizing acquisitions and shareholder returns.
