Pratt & Whitney Automation provides production services for low volume, high precision coating, coating removal and assembly manufacturing processes. PWA's production capabilities include state-of-the-art robotics, process hardware, spray booths, ovens, and skilled personnel. Utilizing our capabilities reduces manufacturing costs, ensures quality, and meets production schedules.

Our US Government-approved secure facility can handle special coating and painting projects any size, no matter how small or how large.

PWA is AS 9100 certified and our quality system is NASA qualified for manned space flight.

Application of Paints and Coatings

Many projects have low production volumes and /or require highly skilled applicators or robotics to perform the coating application task. Projects that include the application of radar absorbing materials, thermal protection materials, IR and sonar absorbing materials are excellent candidates for PWA contract coating services.

PWA contract manufacturing experience includes applying signature reduction coatings to vehicles used by the US military.

The Space Shuttle main engine fuel pumps are another example of the use of PWA production services. PWA performs the entire thermal protection coating process - receiving the part, stripping off the old coatings, surface preparation, application of new thermal protection barriers, curing the thermal materials, and testing. There is no job too hard or too unusual for PWA.

Removal of Paints and Coatings

Many production air vehicles have refurbishment requirements which depend upon robotics to perform the coating removal task. Projects that include the removal of radar absorbing materials, thermal protection materials, IR and sonar absorbing materials are excellent candidates for PWA contract coating removal services.

PWA contract manufacturing experience includes removal of signature reduction coatings to vehicles used by the US military.
