Leading UK Supplier of Specialized Coatings and Component Repairs for Turbine Engines

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – January 13, 2014 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Component Coating and Repair Services Limited (“CCRS”). CCRS is a leading UK provider of ultra-smooth and corrosion resistant coatings and precision airfoil repair services for aerospace and industrial turbine applications.  The acquired business will operate within Curtiss-Wright’s Commercial/Industrial segment.

“The acquisition of CCRS adds new high-technology services to our Surface Technologies business that complement those of our existing engineered coatings offerings,” said David C. Adams, President and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “This is consistent with our stated acquisition strategy to target strategic, bolt-on companies that we believe will enable us to achieve our objectives of margin expansion, strong cash generation and solid returns. We intend to leverage the synergies that exist between our coatings businesses, while also supporting Surface Technologies’ strategic objective to advance up the technological chain and expand the breadth of their technology and customer bases. Further, these technologies can be bundled with Curtiss-Wright’s existing thermal spray and shot peening technologies to create additional opportunities for technology insertion into our worldwide service network.”

Founded in 1995, CCRS currently operates two divisions within the United Kingdom. The Glasgow, Scotland facility specializes in the application of sacrificial aluminum coatings for aerospace turbine engines. A second facility based in Alfreton, England focuses on turnkey component repairs for Industrial Gas Turbines utilized in power generation and oil and gas applications. Both facilities have excellent reputations with their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customer base for providing high quality service and fast turntimes.

CCRS has approximately 100 employees and is expected to generate sales of approximately £7 million (approximately $11 million) in 2014.
