Curtiss-Wright to Invest $80 Million to Expand Cheswick, Pennsylvania Campus

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced on July 6 an $80 million, multi-year investment from Curtiss-Wright to expand its operations in Cheswick, Allegheny County.

Two new buildings

Curtiss-Wright will construct two new buildings on its 118-acre Cheswick campus to expand manufacturing and testing capacity, improve operational efficiency, reduce lead times and support future growth.

150 new jobs

The project will create 150 new jobs over the next three years while retaining more than 860 existing positions. The Commonwealth is investing more than $1.2 million through a PA SITES grant.

Naval defense and nuclear

The Cheswick campus designs, manufactures and tests canned motor pumps, motors, generators and control rod drive mechanisms for the naval defense and commercial nuclear markets. It has supported the U.S. nuclear navy since the Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine.

Lynn M. Bamford, Chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation said:

“This expansion strengthens our ability to meet growing customer demand in our naval defense and commercial nuclear end markets, and reinforces our commitment to the workforce and the community to ensure that Curtiss-Wright remains a critical supplier to these industries for the next decade and beyond.”
