 PROFILE
Hi-Shear Technology cuts loose with electronic, pyrotechnic, and mechanical devices primarily for the aerospace industry. The company's power cartridges and separation devices hold structures together under rigorous conditions and then provide release on command. The devices are used in space vehicles such as the Space Shuttle and in airplane ejector seats. Customers include the US government (nearly 20% of sales) and Lockheed Martin and Boeing (together, about 30%). Hi-Shear also makes airbag inflators and LifeShear cutters (for cutting through steel and other materials to free trapped victims). CEO Thomas Mooney and president George Trahan own about 40% and 34% of the company, respectively.
