    "Founded in 1967, ERG Aerospace Corporation has been manufacturing open-celled, solid ligament metal foams called Duocel®. Since then, ERG Aerospace Corporation has been producing foamed metals, carbons, and ceramics for the aerospace, defense, semiconductor manufacturing, biomedical, and scientific industries. ERG is a proud member of the Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program. Up until the mid-1990’s, the majority of ERG’s business was sequestered for military applications and included the design and manufacture of critical foam components for reconnaissance satellites, nuclear weapons, ICBMs, and other aerospace systems. With the end of the Cold War, the advanced design and manufacturing technologies that ERG had perfected were then made available for commercial, scientific, and non-classified military applications. Our primary facility has been in Oakland, CA since 1967, and in 2017 we added another facility for manufacturing operations in Sparks, NV. On January 1, 2022 ERG officially moved its corporate headquarters to Nevada; the California facility will continue to focus on production, engineering, R&D, and precision manufacturing. ERG is a proud member of the Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business Program. We always strive to do what’s right and are accountable for our actions.We must wisely use our unique materials and expertise to turn our ideas and technologies into high performance design solutions."

    "Concordia was founded in 1920 as a manufacturer of silk yarns, and for the next 70 years the company grew to become a leading producer of synthetic yarns and threads for traditional textile applications. In the late 1980's Concordia took its fiber handling expertise to new levels, using textile science to expand its capabilities into engineered products including advanced composites for aerospace, filtration media, power transmission belts, sailcloth, and many other applications. In the early 2000's Concordia again took its innovative skills into new fields. Utilizing its years of experience in fiber handling, the company began designing and building machines specialized in forming textile structures from bioabsorbable fibers. A new 1,000 square foot clean room was added in 2003. In 2005 Concordia acquired the tissue engineering scaffold assets of Albany International Research Company and Biofelt® was born. In 2008, Concordia moved its medical business to a new facility in Warwick, RI, where Concordia Medical was able to expand its capabilities to produce a variety of non-woven bioabsorbable polymer substrates. In March of 2011, Concordia Medical was purchased by Biomedical Structures, LLC which is dedicated to maintaining Concordia's tradition of quality excellence. Concordia Fibers continues to design and manufacture high performance yarns in its Coventry, RI facility for leading apparel, industrial fabric, and advanced composite companies throughout the United States and the world."

    "After selling another very successful business venture in the 1970’s, noted materials scientist Dr. William R. Cuming founded Cuming Corporation in 1980, with a mission to provide innovative materials, including syntactic foam flotation and insulation equipment for the offshore oil and gas industries, and microwave absorber products for the electronics, telecommunications, defense and aerospace industries. From its small start, the company experienced continual growth over the next three decades. Cuming Microwave was spun off as a separate company in 2008, in order to better focus on the rapid growth of our product lines and custom engineering capabilities. Cuming Microwave is located in three plants with 118,000 square feet in Avon, Massachusetts, just south of Boston. These include a common headquarters building, machine shop, R&D equipment, as well as constant informal contacts between our technical staffs. In 2004, with the continued growth of our RF anechoic chamber business, Cuming Microwave purchased Lehman Chambers, a custom construction company and one of our best customers. Cuming-Lehman Chambers is a wholly owned subsidiary, and can provide full turn-key anechoic chamber facilities. Today, we are a world leader in the installation of anechoic chambers for antenna measurements, RCS measurements, passive intermodulation, and EMC compliance. Our RF materials group has a catalogue of standard products, including magnetic and carbon RF absorbing materials, and low loss dielectric products. However, our strength derives from the technical knowledge of our people – we thrive on developing custom solutions to the most challenging materials applications. We engage in extensive research and development activities and testing to provide customers with cost-effective, creative materials solutions. We offer a full-service approach, from engineering to manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of our products."
