Hardwire LLC traces its roots back to 1999 when it was first developed by founder George Tunis in the true entrepreneurial spirit. After a decade building advanced infrastructure and large composites parts as the founder and CEO of Hardcore Composites and later Hardcore-DuPont, Tunis sought to develop the first high-tensile steel composite reinforcement solution for the broad composites industries - which is exactly what he did in the garage of his own home. He labeled the solution Hardwire® and subsequently formed Hardwire LLC to not only bring this product to market, but also develop high value-added applications for customers seeking both performance and economy.

Four years of extensive development working with customers using a variety of batch and continuous processes, Hardwire evolved from a concept to a full commercial reality. Painstaking attention to detail, an obsessive commitment to excellence, and a deep understanding of processes and structural requirements led to the highly evolved armoring solutions Hardwire now provides to the military and various military vehicle manufacturers.

The Hardwire team spends most of its efforts developing leading-edge proprietary applications and creating new and novel solutions in a wide variety of industries. Hardwire products can be found in military vehicles, blast resistant structures, automotive composites, infrastructure armor solutions, marine laminates, concrete repair retrofits, flooring, storm resistant structures, ballistic-resistance panels, reinforced piping, and many other applications. Hardwire technologies are used to protect critical structures against various threats and protect our soldiers against hostile fire around the world. Hardwire's customers include U.S. military, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. State Department, owners of critical infrastructures, and many composite industry clients.
