Ceradyne, Inc. Company Profile

A bull in a china shop wouldn't stand a chance against Ceradyne's ceramics. The company's advanced technical ceramics products combine hardness with light weight and the ability to withstand high temperatures, resist corrosion, and insulate against electricity. Some uses of Ceradyne's materials include armor for military helicopters, missile nose cones, body armor and helmets for soldiers, diesel engine components, ceramic industrial products, solar glass products, and orthodontic brackets. The company sells to contractors and OEMs, and the US government and government agencies represent more than 37% of sales. In late 2012 3M Company acquired Ceradyne.
