explaining the benefits of the pgdt acquisition, managing director hal chenhall said curtiss - wright is an ideal parent, bringing increased investment and resources to the business .
curtiss - wright, which primarily manufactures components for the aerospace and defense industries, originally obtained the medical and media isolation product line as a result of their acquisition of south bend controls in 2011. since the product line did not fit curtiss - wright’s primary operation, the company opted to sell it to humphrey products .
the loss of the contract was fatal to the company; the curtiss - wright corporation closed down its aviation division, selling its assets to north american aviation .
when wright aeronautical was incorporated in 1919, its charter was the design and manufacture of aero engines. although the wright brothers were no longer involved with the company (wilbur had died and orville had other interests), it can be said that the wright aeronautical engine tradition began with the first wright brothers' engine in 1903 .
curtiss - wright corporation is an innovative engineering company that provides highly engineered, critical function products, systems and services in the areas of flow control, motion control and metal treatment to the defense, energy and commercial / industrial markets. the legacy company of glenn curtiss and the wright brothers, curtiss - wright has a long tradition of design and manufacturing innovation along with long - standing customer relationships. the company employs approximately 8, 400 people worldwide. for more information, visit urltoken
