Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced an $80 million, multi-year investment to expand operations at its Cheswick, Pennsylvania, facility.
The Cheswick campus spans 118 acres, where Curtiss-Wright designs, manufactures, and tests advanced solutions critical to naval defense and commercial nuclear markets.
The latest investment will enable the company, with 9,100 employees, to construct two new buildings to expand manufacturing and testing capacity, improve operational efficiency, reduce lead times, and support future growth.
“This expansion strengthens our ability to meet growing customer demand in our naval defense and commercial nuclear end markets…” read a press release announced on July 6, 2026.
“Additionally, we are pleased to see the administration’s continued strong funding for naval shipbuilding, including an acceleration in maritime industrial base funding.”
A big day for naval shipbuilding
The Governor’s Business PA team coordinated this extraordinary effort.
The company received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $1,210,000 grant through the PA SITES (Pennsylvania Strategic Investments to Enhance Sites) Program.
“My Administration is competing aggressively to win major investments and help drive even more economic growth across the Commonwealth,” said Governor Shapiro.
“This expansion is yet another clear example of how our Economic Development Strategy is working and delivered for our Commonwealth.
We’ll continue to secure – and win – more projects that create good-paying jobs, strengthen our manufacturing base, and give Pennsylvanians real opportunities to succeed and thrive.”
Over the next few years, Curtiss-Wright Corporation will expand its site at Pennsylvania as part of the Company’s Naval & Power segment, made possible thanks to a combination of internal capital investments, state support, and maritime industrial base funding via the U.S.
Department of War budget, according to a press release.
Curtiss-Wright’s facility in Cheswick, PA, is a world leader in the design, development, manufacture, and qualification of the most advanced, proven, and reliable critical-function canned motor pumps, motors, generators, and control rod drive mechanisms.
Since the first U.S. nuclear power plant was built in Shippingport, PA, it has served the commercial nuclear power industry and has supported the U.S. nuclear navy since the Nautilus, the first nuclear -powered submarine.
State and regional execution
DCED Secretary Rick Siger expressed how great the news was for Allegheny County and the Commonwealth.
“This project is a prime example of what happens when state leadership and regional execution align seamlessly.
Curtiss-Wright is a vital anchor of our nuclear and defense ecosystems, working together with regional leaders like Westinghouse to power next-generation energy solutions,” said Stefani Pashman, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development.
“They play a critical role in the nuclear supply chain, and their decision to invest $80 million to expand their operations in Allegheny County ensures our region remains at the forefront of critical national infrastructure.
The Allegheny Conference team was proud to partner on this project with Curtiss-Wright and DCED to help navigate the path forward for this expansion.”
“It 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,” concluded Lynn M.
