Aearo Corporation
 PROFILE
When the sparks fly, it helps to be under the aegis of Aearo Corporation. Through subsidiary Aearo Company, the firm makes and sells personal protection equipment in about 85 countries under the brand names AOSafety, E-A-R, and Peltor. Products include earplugs, goggles, face shields, respirators, hard hats, safety clothing, first-aid kits, and communication headsets. The firm also sells safety prescription eyewear and makes energy-absorbing foams that control noise, vibration, and shock for use in its own and other manufacturers' products. Aearo's former parent, specialty chemicals maker Cabot Corporation, owns about 40% of the company; Vestar Capital Partners and Aearo executives own the rest.
