Our proud history dates back to 1929, when the Wright Brothers and Glen Curtiss founded the Curtiss-Wright Corporation.  Metal Improvement Company was established in 1946 and acquired by Curtiss-Wright in 1968. 

Under the recent ‘One Curtiss-Wright’ initiative all the material surface treatment companies were brought together under the umbrella of Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies, including Metal Improvement Company.  These companies continue to trade under their existing company name and include:
