What do military trucks, bridges and public buildings have in common? They all have to be protected against enemy attack, accidental or hostile blast or forces of nature. Hardwire provides just that – an armor solution to reinforce just about anything from bomb squad protective gear to giant infrastructure buildings like bridges.
This "Husky" is not made by Hardwire LLC but Hardwire provides the most vital component of it - an armor.
It all started in 1999 when it was first developed by founder George Tunis in the true entrepreneurial spirit. After a decade building advanced infrastructure and large composites parts as the founder and CEO of Hardcore Composites and later Hardcore-DuPont, Tunis sought to develop the first high-tensile steel composite reinforcement solution for the broad composites industries – which is exactly what he did in the garage of his own home. He labelled the solution Hardwire® and subsequently formed Hardwire LLC to not only bring this product to market, but also develop high value-added applications for customers seeking both performance and economy.
Today, with just two patented armor solutions, Hardwire provides unique armor components to U.S. military, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. State Department, owners of critical infrastructures, and many composite industry clients. It all started with the dream of the founder that lighter, more versatile and cheaper armor can be created to protect lives and infrastructure. Focusing to single but vital technology and product but with large potential scale has enabled Hardwire LLC to grow from $5.3 million in 2005 to $124.0 million by the end of 2008. The growth has continued on 2009. More about the company at www.hardwirellc.com .
