AP Services, LLC operates as a specialized brand within the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, focusing on the design and manufacturing of fluid sealing technologies. The company has a history rooted in A.P. Services, Inc., founded in 1995, and NGP, Inc., founded in 1991. A significant milestone occurred in 2010 when AP Services, LLC was formally established through a management buyout of these preceding entities. This trajectory culminated in its acquisition by Curtiss-Wright Corporation in November 2012 for a cash price of $30 million, integrating it into Curtiss-Wright's Flow Control segment to enhance their offerings for the power generation markets.
The firm's core business revolves around providing highly engineered fluid sealing products and services designed to improve plant reliability, safety, and operational efficiency while reducing maintenance costs. Its client base is concentrated in demanding industrial sectors, including commercial nuclear and fossil power plants, chemical and petrochemical industries, and various government entities such as the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. As a brand of Curtiss-Wright, it functions as a manufacturer and integrated supplier, selling its proprietary products alongside distributed items from partnered manufacturers.
The product portfolio is extensive, featuring mechanical valve and pump packing, metal and fabricated gaskets, graphite pressure seals, and other specialized fluid sealing items. The company utilizes advanced manufacturing techniques, including CNC-driven water jet cutters and packing braiders, to produce its solutions. A notable offering is the SealPRO™ software, a web-based platform for fluid leak management. This tool allows clients to manage system configurations, track leaks, and access a database for parts, designs, and industry best practices to streamline maintenance and improve equipment reliability across facilities.
