| BUSINESS STRATEGY |
In addition to this capacity increase, Co. will be "aggressively expanding" its business further. "It's not in response to the Sept. 11 incident, though certainly this incident will accelerate our future expansions beyond the expansion we will be announcing in the coming weeks." |
| RESEARCH | The goal of the research is to reduce the weight of a vest while retaining its protection properties. A bullet-resistant vest does no good if it is so heavy and uncomfortable that a police officer doesn't wear it. "We've done revolutionary work in getting down the weights of vests today. |
| CAPACITY | Co expanded production earlier this year |
| CLASSIFICATION | Market |
| MANUFACTURING | Co does not make the ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene feedstock that goes into its fiber. It buys the polymer and then gel-spins it into a fiber, highly orienting the molecular chains to obtain the desired strength and tenacity. |
| UPDATE | 10.01 |
| USES | Police officers, prison guards, military personnel, and security guards need increasingly sophisticated technologies to address the specific threats that they face. The type of protection needed against a handgun attack, for instance, is not the same as that needed against a knife attack. Hybrid vests that address multiple threats are sold, although they tend to be heavy. The need to produce better hybrid vests offers a rich field for continued research. |
