CURTISS-WRIGHT FLOW CONTROL RECEIVES FOLLOW-ON CONTRACTS FROM BATH IRON WORKS
To commence work on third ASIST System, Modular Track, Lateral Transfer System and Hangar Door for DDG1002 Guided Missile Destroyer
FALLS CHURCH, VA – October 17, 2011

Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company announced today that it has received three follow-on contracts from General Dynamics Bath Iron Works related to the third-in-class "Zumwalt-class" guided missile destroyer platform. The multi-million dollar contracts authorize work to commence on the manufacture of the ASIST (Aircraft Ship Integrated Secure and Traverse) Helicopter Handling System, Modular In-deck Track, Lateral Transfer System and Helicopter Hangar Door for installation on the DDG1002 ship.

Work for these contracts will be performed at INDAL Technologies, a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company, based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, with deliveries commencing in May 2013.

"Curtiss-Wright is very pleased to continue its support of this critical U.S. Navy shipbuilding project." said David Linton, President, Curtiss-Wright Flow Control and Co-Chief Operating Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

CURTISS-WRIGHT FLOW CONTROL'S DELTAVALVE CELEBRATES 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY FOR DELTAGUARD® COKER UNHEADING SYSTEMS
New Technology Revolutionized the Coke Drum Unheading Process
FALLS CHURCH, VA – September 26, 2011

Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company announced today that its DeltaValve business unit is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the installation of its first DeltaGuard® bottom unheading device, the world's first fully automated and fully enclosed coke drum unheading device. The current number of DeltaGuard fully automated systems sold is 476 worldwide.

The first installation of the DeltaGuard system was September 20, 2001, at the Chevron Salt Lake City refinery. Since then, DeltaValve has developed similar technology for fully automated coke drum top unheading. In the system's 10-year history, not a single recordable safety incident related to the valve has occurred. Previous to this, accidents and even fatalities were not uncommon.

"Curtiss-Wright is a worldwide leader in delivering unique solutions that ensure safety and improve operating efficiency within the oil refining industry. Our innovative DeltaGuard unheading device has proven to be superior technology," said David J. Linton, President of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company and Co-Chief Operating Officer of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "With hundreds of installations worldwide in service during hundreds-of-thousands of combined coking cycles, our delayed coking products have steadily gained an industry-leading reputation for providing unparalleled safety and increased reliability while minimizing maintenance costs and processing time."

During the opening of a coke drum -- an action called "unheading" – steam and coke at extreme temperatures can be present. The DeltaGuard system safely opens and closes the top or bottom of a coke drum during the delayed coking process. Unlike traditional unheading systems, the remotely operated DeltaGuard device creates a totally enclosed, fully automated coking system, from the top of the coke drum down to the coke pit, eliminating certain risks that were inherent with the traditional coker unheading process.

CURTISS-WRIGHT ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO SELL DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS
VSC to be repositioned with strategic owner, Curtiss-Wright to focus on core energy businesses
PARSIPPANY, NJ – July 22, 2011

Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE:CW) announced today that it has completed an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement to divest the legacy distribution business of its Valve Systems and Controls (VSC) operation to McJunkin Red Man Corporation, a global distributor of pipe, valves, fittings and related products to the energy and industrial markets. The transaction is expected to close by the end of July.

"We believe that the sale of this distribution business repositions it with a strategic owner while enabling Curtiss-Wright to focus on its core energy businesses," said Martin R. Benante, Chairman and CEO Curtiss-Wright Corporation. Curtiss-Wright acquired VSC in 2007. At the time, three business operations comprised VSC:

  • One that provided an exclusive channel-to-market for the company's DeltaValve® product line in North and South America,
  • A second operation (known as Total Automation Solutions) that provided control systems for the DeltaValve product line, and
  • The legacy distribution business, whose expertise lies in managing large automated valve projects to the upstream oil and gas market.

Although the rights to the name "Valve Systems and Controls" is included in the sale, Curtiss-Wright Flow Control retains all rights in its Total Automated Solutions and DeltaValve business segments, and continues to provide turnkey valve, automation and controls solutions for oil and gas production, refining, petrochemical and power markets.

CURTISS-WRIGHT FLOW CONTROL RECEIVES CONTRACT FROM PROGRESS ENERGY
To Provide New Protection System for Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Power Plant
FALLS CHURCH, VA – July 21, 2011

Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company announced today that its business unit Scientech has signed a contract with Progress Energy to provide a safety-related Inadequate Core Cooling Mitigation System (ICCMS) to support the extended power uprate at the utility's Crystal River Unit 3 nuclear power plant in Florida.

The new protection system uses only analog technology to perform safety functions, while providing modern computer-based online performance monitoring through an isolated, non-safety monitor. This combination of analog and digital technologies is designed to simplify the licensing process and reduce cyber-security concerns since no software is used to perform the safety-related functions of the system. The new system will be built at Scientech's Idaho Falls, ID, facility.

"Curtiss Wright sees this approach as providing a path forward for many operating nuclear plants," said David Linton, President, Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company and Co-Chief Operating Officer, Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "The platform developed for the Crystal River ICCMS is the first analog solution in over 30 years. The analog-safety related portion is fully testable, easily understood, and easily licensed. Conversely, the digital non-safety portion provides state-of-the-art online performance monitoring and interface to digital systems without the need for testing or licensing."

CURTISS-WRIGHT FLOW CONTROL ACHIEVES CHINA DUAL CERTIFICATION
Strengthens its Market Position in Pressure Relief Valves in China
FALLS CHURCH, VA – July 11, 2011

Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company announced today that Farris Engineering's manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China has been awarded both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) certification and the Chinese Special Quality License (CSQL), thus achieving two major milestones in its effort to serve the Chinese market requirements for pressure relief valves. Farris Engineering, a business unit of Curtiss-Wright Flow Control, is based in Brecksville, Ohio.

The Farris Tianjin plant's production scope includes spring-loaded and pilot-operated pressure relief valves in sizes ranging from ˝" to 8" inlet. ASME certification permits valves that are manufactured, set and tested at the Tianjin facility to be sold worldwide into markets that require ASME certification. The CSQL, which meets a Chinese government requirement, permits Farris to sell locally manufactured valves into the Chinese market. The plant has been ISO 9001 certified since 2008.

"Achieving this dual certification is significant for our Farris Engineering business unit," said David Linton, President, Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Company and Co-Chief Operating Office, Curtiss-Wright Corporation. "It strengthens our global supply chain so that we can serve our customers operating in China with a complete, locally-produced product line, cost-effectively and efficiently. Tianjin has been and will continue to be an important part of Farris's global strategy."

With the achievement of these milestones, Farris Engineering has established a new sales representative office in Beijing, China and has appointed a new Sales Director-Greater China and Customer Account Manager to continue to focus on supporting the growing Chinese market place. Myron Xing will serve as Sales Director-Greater China. He will have responsibility for Farris Engineering's network of representatives in China and will support the customer base with products and services manufactured in North America and in Tianjin, China. Jiao Jiao will serve as Customer Account Manager to support the Farris network of representatives in China and oversee all customer sales and technical needs.

"Farris will continue to look to the Asian market for sustainable growth and profitability," said Frank DiTomasso, Farris Engineering's General Manager. "With the combination of a local factory presence and a local sales office for stronger customer support, we now have the strategic integration in place that will position us for continuing success in this major market."
