BWX Technologies to Buy Precision Components Group to Expand U.S. Nuclear Manufacturing

The move signals a push to build more domestic supply for commercial reactor projects.

Overview

  • BWX Technologies agreed on April 20 to acquire Precision Components Group, a U.S. maker of heavy‑walled and heat‑transfer parts for nuclear equipment.
  • The transaction adds more than 500,000 square feet of domestic heavy-manufacturing space and over 400 skilled workers to BWXT’s footprint.
  • PCG will be folded into BWXT’s Commercial Operations unit and will keep operating at its current facilities.
  • PCG generated about $125 million in revenue last year, adding a sizable stream to BWXT’s commercial business.
  • BWXT, which beat Q4 forecasts and set 2026 EPS guidance of $4.55 to $4.70, describes the deal as a first step to scale U.S.-based commercial nuclear manufacturing.
