BWX Technologies traces its roots back to 1867 when Stephen Wilcox and George Babcock founded Babcock & Wilcox to manufacture and market Wilcox's patented water-tube boiler. The company played a crucial role in the Manhattan Project during World War II and expanded its nuclear capabilities in the post-war era. In 2015, Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. spun off its government and nuclear operations businesses to form BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT).
