Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies (Metal Improvement Company) is one of the world's largest subcontracted shot peening and surface treatment networks. Their sites are NADCAP-qualified and operate in centralised production for major aerospace OEMs.
Kronos Engineering positions itself as a qualified alternative and a field complement to this centralised model — on-wing, AOG, on-site industrial intervention, file audits. We do not seek to replace Curtiss-Wright where they excel (centralised serial production), but to cover what their model does not allow.
