On October 16-18, 2019, MTU Onsite Energy hosted its 11th annual Engineering Symposium at the factory in Mankato, MN. Curtis Engine took 49 people to the Symposium -- the largest single group in attendance and also the largest group Curtis has ever brought. Approximately 500 people from North and South America were in attendance. Attendees were mostly electrical engineers, but there were also end users, suppliers and energy service companies present.

Dial back to 1963 through 1993 to the stark enclave of factories, taverns, and warehouses of Southeast Baltimore. The setting is the former Curtis Engine facility located on Holabird Avenue. Sitting on an incline on more than two acres in this gritty slice near Dundalk was the service department building. Down the hill was the main building that housed parts and people.

The Baltimore Museum of Industry was the perfect setting for Curtis Engine’s recent 75th anniversary bash. Over the decades, Curtis Engine has evolved into the Mid-Atlantic region’s leader in providing world-class power generation equipment and service for commercial, institutional and government customers.
