To Supply Reactor Coolant Pumps For U.S. AP1000TM Nuclear Power Plants
ROSELAND, N.J. – May 06, 2008 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC to provide reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) for up to four AP1000TM Generation III+ commercial nuclear power plants or a total of 32 RCPs. In conjunction with the agreement, Curtiss-Wright has received purchase orders valued in excess of $300 million to supply the first 24 domestic AP1000 RCPs. The RCPs will be used in Westinghouse’s AP1000 design reactors which will produce 1,100 megawatts each. Curtiss-Wright’s Electro-Mechanical Division (CW-EMD), a division of the Flow Control segment, will produce the RCPs at its Cheswick, PA facility.
“This landmark agreement is the largest commercial power order in Curtiss-Wright’s history and signals that the domestic nuclear power renaissance is underway,” said Curtiss-Wright Chairman and CEO Martin R. Benante. “Nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a clean, reliable and economic source of electricity that will help build U.S. energy independence at a time when it is needed more than ever. We have developed numerous advanced technologies for the global nuclear market and we are proud to be a significant and critical player in building the safest and most advanced nuclear power plants in the world.”
The agreement follows Curtiss-Wright’s September 2007 award to supply AP1000 RCPs for the Sanmen and Haiyang plants located in the People’s Republic of China. The RCPs circulate coolant for the reactor and are one the major components of the AP1000 design. They are the largest canned motor pumps ever designed and manufactured by CW-EMD.
For over 50 years, Curtiss-Wright has been serving the nuclear power market, including the first U.S. nuclear power plant built at Shippingport, PA., and the first nuclear submarine.

NOVA MACHINE PRODUCTS ACQUIRES PLASMABOND® PATENTED COATING PROCESS FROM GENERATION SVC COMPANY
AND BASIC RESOURCES, INC.
Expands Proprietary Technologies for the Commercial Nuclear Power Industry
MIDDLEBURG, OH – December 18, 2007 – Nova Machine Products, Inc., a subsidiary of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control, announced today that it has acquired the proprietary PlasmaBond® coating process from Generation SVC Company and Basic Resources, Inc., subsidiaries of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (formerly TXU Corp.). This acquisition replaces the current distribution agreement.
Nova General Manager Tim Davis said, “Nova has been the exclusive distributor for the PlasmaBond® lubricated fastener, a leading edge technology solution to new and existing fastener applications for the commercial nuclear power industry since October 2002. This acquisition is a good strategic fit with Nova’s existing business and will enable us to expand the proprietary technologies we offer for the global commercial nuclear power market as well as other selected industrial markets.”
The PlasmaBond® enhanced vacuum-coating process applies a thin metallic dry lubricant to a wide range of parts and materials without affecting the properties of the underlying materials. The metal film is molecularly bonded to the substrate to provide superior bonding strength. PlasmaBond® lubricants do not migrate away from the working surface and are thus superior to current conventional lubricants. They are also not affected by heat, load or longevity of the interval between maintenance service periods and reduce operating and maintenance costs through these value-added benefits: better control of friction, wear and galling, less damage to expensive and hard-to-find parts, easier disassembly and shorter outages. PlasmaBond® lubricants are qualified for both nuclear and aviation applications.

CWFC’S ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DIVISION BREAKS GROUND ON NEW
$ 62-MILLION LARGE MANUFACTURING COMPLEX IN CHESWICK, PA
EMD will Produce Reactor Coolant Pumps and Other New, Larger Products
CHESWICK, PA -- November 5,
2007 -- Curtiss Wright Flow Control (CWFC) announced today
that its Electro-Mechanical Division (EMD) will hold a groundbreaking
ceremony to officially commence construction on its $62 million
state-of-the-art, multi-purpose Large Manufacturing Complex
in Cheswick, PA. The new, nine-story, 48,000-square-foot metal
frame manufacturing facility will be used to build commercial
nuclear reactor coolant pumps as well as support the production
and testing of other new large products.
Earlier this year, EMD completed two major agreements: one
with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC in the U.S. to provide
reactor coolant pumps for four AP 1000 Generation III+ commercial
nuclear reactors to be built in China and a separate technology
transfer agreement with China’s State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC). EMD will supply Westinghouse with 18 reactor coolant pumps, 16 of which will be manufactured at the new Cheswick facility and two will be manufactured by local Chinese suppliers with local oversight provided by EMD. The total value of both agreements is $293 million.
Greg Hempfling, Vice President and General Manager, EMD, hosted the event. Joining him at the groundbreaking were Martin R. Benante, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Curtiss Wright Corporation, David Linton, President, CWFC, Allen G. Kukovich, Director, Governor’s Southwest Regional Office, Frank Dermody, Pennsylvania State Representative, Sean Logan, Pennsylvania State Senator and officials from the Allegheny county Department of Economic Development.
In his remarks, Mr. Hempfling said, “It is a fortunate set of events that brings us here to mark the start of construction on EMD’s new manufacturing facility. Today EMD takes another step in its leadership role in the AP1000 reactor coolant pump market. This new site will support the design and manufacture of the largest canned motor pumps ever produced by EMD and these state-of-the-art components that are at the heart of the AP1000 nuclear reactor. Building this facility also provides additional manufacturing capacity for other large products and helps position the company in its traditional nuclear and expanding non-nuclear markets.”
The facility will include a large vertical turning and machining center, a test facility, a main assembly and a weld fabrication area. The complex will create about 80 jobs from engineering positions to skilled machinists and assemblers. EMD currently employs approximately 700 employees in Cheswick. The facility is expected to be operational in September 2008.
The project advances EMD’s leadership in the nuclear power industry which is exemplified by a strong customer focus, operational excellence, a disciplined investment strategy and the development and deployment of state-of-the-art innovative technologies.
“The commitment to build this facility represents a significant capital investment for Curtiss Wright Flow Control and EMD, demonstrating the critical role we believe nuclear power will play in the future of our company,” said David Linton, President, CWFC. “We are proud to have been a long-time supporter of the nuclear power industry. Nuclear power is a safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly energy source with the ability to meet the significant long-term power needs of the world.”
“Curtiss Wright has recognized Pennsylvania as a great place to work and live,” Governor Edward G. Rendell said. “With the state’s investment, the new facility will create 80 new jobs and retain 700 existing positions, contributing to Pennsylvania’s $6.4 billion manufacturing economy. We welcome this expansion and look forward to an even stronger, more vibrant business community.”

Curtiss-Wright Signs MOU with Eaton
Developing Stress Wave Analysis Technology for Rotorcraft
ROSELAND, N.J., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) announced today that it has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with Eaton Corporation's Electrical Sensing and Controls Division to develop its Stress Wave Analysis technology for rotorcraft drive system condition monitoring. Curtiss-Wright provides this technology through its Swantech business unit, which operates within the Flow Control segment.
Swantech's patented Stress Wave Analysis (SWAN(R)) technology incorporates hardware and web-based software to detect minute levels of friction in critical components where deterioration is problematic. This enables operators to identify component deterioration well in advance of conventional vibration and temperature-based monitoring systems, thus avoiding unscheduled downtime. Swantech's existing business is primarily in the marine, power and process markets.
Eaton is a world leader in rotorcraft drive system condition monitoring. Over a period of 50 years, its patented oil debris sensors and related products have been in operation on virtually every helicopter ever built in the U. S. and Europe. By combining Eaton's oil debris sensing technologies with SWAN, drive train faults can be trended and detected with higher accuracy and virtually eliminate false alarms.
Under the terms of the MOU, Swantech intends to give Eaton the exclusive right to sell SWAN into the vertical flight market, commonly known as helicopters. Eaton will deploy SWAN technology to meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and military flight standards and co-market the new product with the "SWAN" and "Eaton" brands. The initial agreement will be for three years with an option to renew.
"This is an exceptional endorsement of our patented technology," said Curtiss-Wright Chairman and CEO Martin R. Benante. "We acquired Swantech less than a year ago because we recognized the high compatibility with our high performance products. We believe that Swantech is in the early stages of its development and will continue to provide us with numerous opportunities for expansion in our processing, nuclear power, and defense markets."
Swantech holds six U.S. patents and one European patent, and has additional patents pending. Customers include the major luxury cruise ship companies, as well as leading players in the aerospace, defense, transportation, power generation, and oil and gas processing industries.
