New Facility for Curtiss-Wright Arresting Systems Business

Curtiss-Wright Engineered Arresting Systems/ESCO plans to move from its current location at Merpins, France, to a new facility at Genté, the company announced on Monday. The new site offers 54,800 sq ft of workspace, 11,800 more than the area of the plant in Merpins. The increase caters to expected growth over the next five years. The new facility also consolidates manufacturing, testing, and front office function into one building.

ESCO was formerly Safran Aerosystems Arresting Company, which Curtiss-Wright acquired from Safran last year. As well as the Merpins facility, it operates a site in Aston, Pennsylvania. The company develops and manufactures emergency arresting barrier and wire systems and related components.
