Curtiss Wright Corporation
Curtiss-Wright Corporation is a global company that delivers highly engineered,
critical function products and services to the commercial, defense, power generation,
and industrial markets. We were formed in 1929 by the merger of companies founded
by the Wright brothers and Glenn Curtiss, both aviation pioneers. We are incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware and headquartered in Charlotte, North
Carolina. We are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and trade under
the symbol CW.
Our strategy is to be an integrated, global diversified industrial company.
We expect that the diversification of the portfolio should mitigate the impact
of the volatility of business cycles and allow us to realize growth in new products
and markets. We strive for consistent organic sales growth, operating margin
expansion, and free cash flow generation, while also maintaining a disciplined
and balanced capital deployment strategy.
We are positioned on high-performance platforms that require technical sophistication.
Our technologies are intended to improve operating efficiency and reliability
while meeting demanding performance requirements. Our ability to provide high-performance,
advanced technologies on a cost-effective basis is fundamental to our strategy
to drive increased value to our customers. We compete globally, primarily based
on technology and pricing. Our business challenges include price pressure, technological
and economic developments, and geopolitical events, such as diplomatic accords.
We manage and evaluate our operations based on the products and services we
offer and the different markets we serve. Based on this approach we operate
through three segments: Commercial/Industrial, Defense, and Power.
Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in the United States in
New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and internationally in Canada and the United
Kingdom.
