Curtiss-Wright Nuclear Division in Middleburg Heights is a key player in the Aerozone, with expertise rooted in the nuclear power industry. Amid rising interest in nuclear energy, including projects like Google’s and Microsoft’s recent investments, Curtiss-Wright continues to lead in machining, custom manufacturing, and electrical connector technology for both commercial and government applications.
In 2019, the company consolidated three business units into their Middleburg Heights facility, streamlining operations and hiring 50 additional employees. Roughly 80% of their supply chain is local. NOVA product lines include customer machining critical parts, thread rolling, fasteners, construction products, Hydranuts, and Tensioning Equipment. AP Services specializes in gaskets, valve packing, and sealing solutions, and EGS focuses on harsh application electrical connectors. Curtiss-Wright serves a global market in the commercial nuclear power industry.
Looking ahead, the company plans to grow by 20% and invest $2-3 million in capital improvements. Curtiss-Wright is also exploring small modular reactors (SMRs) as a future growth opportunity. Additionally, they stand to benefit from Aerozone’s upcoming Microgrid, which will provide cleaner, more resilient energy to power-demanding businesses like Curtiss-Wright.
As they continue to expand, Curtiss-Wright is seeking talent for roles such as weld engineers, electrical specialists, and procurement experts. Their partnerships with local schools, including Polaris and the University of Akron, further demonstrate their commitment to developing the next generation of skilled workers.
