electronic packaging

US-based establishment Curtiss-Wright Corporation has divested its engineered packaging business, formerly Hybricon, to Atrenne Integrated Solutions.

The sale is in line with the company’s long-term strategy to improve operating margins, increase cash flow and position Curtiss-Wright for sustained growth.

Curtiss-Wright’s engineered packaging business develops electronic packaging solutions that are specifically tailored to operate in a variety of demanding real-world environments for military and aerospace customers.

Its solutions include features such as extreme cooling of high-powered electronics, enhanced signal integrity properties, small-dimensional footprint and weight, and intense ruggedness, including the ability to withstand heat, shock, vibration, acceleration, humidity, sand, dust, salt and other influences.

"The divestiture of this non-core operation further enables Curtiss-Wright to become a top-quartile performer in our peer group."

Commenting on the deal, Curtiss-Wright chairman and CEO David C Adams said: "Furthermore, it enables us to focus on our core businesses, while also providing a better strategic fit for their product portfolio.
