Cordant Technologies, a subsidiary of top aluminum producer Alcoa, helped put John Glenn back into orbit: Cordant is the sole maker of solid rocket boosters for NASA's space shuttles. Its Thiokol Propulsion group (which is being sold to aerospace and defense company Alliant Techsystems) makes systems for Trident missiles and commercial launch vehicles. Its Huck International subsidiary makes specialty fasteners, rivets, and lock bolts for the transportation and construction industries. The company owns about 85% of Howmet Castings (castings for aircraft turbine engines). Cordant is focusing on commercial markets to cut its dependence on government contracts. North America and Europe account for most of its sales.
