About Curtiss-Wright
Curtiss-Wright makes highly engineered components and systems for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. It earns revenue supplying flight-critical hardware, embedded computing, and flow control products to military and commercial customers, often as the sole qualified supplier on long-lived platforms.
Its commercial nuclear business is the AI-relevant piece. Curtiss-Wright supplies reactor coolant pumps for the AP1000 plant design, plus valves, instrumentation, and safety-related equipment for operating reactors, and it has component agreements with small modular reactor developers. As AI power demand revives nuclear new builds and restarts, that division's pipeline grows.
Founded in 1929 from the companies of the Wright brothers and Glenn Curtiss, it is headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina, employs about 9,200 people, and trades on the NYSE. Its products often stay in service for decades, supporting a long aftermarket tail.
Curtiss-Wright in the AI buildout
Curtiss-Wright sits in the Power & Energy layer through its commercial nuclear division. Hyperscaler interest in firm, carbon-free power is driving reactor restarts, license extensions, and new AP1000 and SMR projects, and Curtiss-Wright supplies critical components across that fleet: reactor coolant pumps, valves, and instrumentation. Each new build or restart adds decades of aftermarket demand. Defense and aerospace remain the larger business, so nuclear is a growing contributor rather than the core driver.
CW is tracked in Power & Energy, rated Growing on the AI Exposure leaderboard.
