CURTISS-WRIGHT SIGNS EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT WITH THERMAL ENERGY INTERNATIONAL TO BRING GEM STEAM TRAPS WITH ZERO MOVING PARTS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER MARKET AND DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

BREA, CA­­ – June 28, 2022 – Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear Division today announced that it has signed an exclusive teaming agreement with Thermal Energy International, Inc. (TEI) to bring GEM™ steam traps to the North American nuclear power market and Department of Energy.

“This partnership will allow Curtiss-Wright to broaden our portfolio of obsolescence solutions for the North American nuclear fleet and DOE,” said Kurt Mitchell, Vice President and General Manager of Curtiss-Wright’s Nuclear and Valves Divisions. “Through our collaboration with TEI, we will bring the industry an innovative valve solution that delivers a significant increase in efficiency over legacy designs.”

Per the agreement, Curtiss-Wright will market and deliver TEI’s GEM steam traps, parts, and services to customers seeking a replacement for legacy steam traps that have become obsolete or difficult to maintain.
