Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies

Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies, also called CWST, is a metal surface treatment company. It is a division of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. This UK site gives a customer service number of +44 (0)1635 279621 and an address in Alfreton, Derbyshire.

The company says it has more than 70 years of experience. It reports a network of over 60 facilities in 16 countries, and the homepage also refers to 65 or more facilities worldwide with on-site field teams. It serves aerospace, chemical, automotive, energy, medical and general engineering customers.

Its main services are shot peening, laser peening, engineered coatings, and material testing and analysis. Shot peening is a cold working process where small round pieces of shot hit the surface of a part. Laser peening is done at facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom. A mobile laser peening unit can work at a customer site on large parts that cannot move. Testing is done through its IMR Test Labs unit.

The company says its work covers the full life of a part. That includes design and new manufacture, as well as in service maintenance, metal repair and overhaul of components.

CWST was formed under the One Curtiss-Wright plan. It grew by buying other metal treatment firms. Names on the site include Metal Improvement Company, Everlube, Para Tech Coating, IMR Test Labs and Keronite Group Limited. The company says its heritage goes back to Glenn Curtiss and the Wright brothers.

The website has a contact page and a quote request page. It also says the company will exhibit at the Surfex exhibition in Coventry on 9 and 10 June 2026.
