Our design, manufacturing and verification is performed using materials, processes, procedures and specifications that meet the highest industry standards. We are the only loudspeaker manufacturer in the world supplying speakers per aerospace procedures and specifications. We are the only company in the world designing and building loudspeakers per aerospace standards and procedures: Over 50 years of experience in designing and building aerospce equipment and structures Substantial experience with commercial and defense contracting Highly skilled base of suppliers and contractors Quality control system approved by the FAA, Boeing, Labinal, and many other customers All speakers are TSO'd - tested per RTCA DO-160, DO-170 And DO-214 Speakers have been installed in airplanes since 1991 Moog Overview The Moog Story started as designer and supplier of aircraft and missile components. Today, our motion control technology enhances performance in a variety of arkets and applications, from commercial aircraft cockpits, to power-generation turbines, to Formula One racing, to medical infusion systems. Our culture supports our talented people, allowing them to approach their work with energy, enthusiasm, and the promise of success. Our history begins with our founder, William C. Moog – inventor, entrepreneur and visionary. In 1951, Bill Moog developed the electro-hydraulic servovalve, a device that translates tiny, electrical impulses into precise and powerful movement. In July of 1951, Bill, his brother Arthur, and Lou Geyer, rented a corner of the abandoned Proner Airport in East Aurora and formed the Moog Valve Company. "A Better Way" to Run a Company From experience, Bill knew that work environment played an important role in any Company's success. He had some unique ideas about a "better way" to run a Company -- treating employees with trust and respect. These simple ideas laid the foundation for what would eventually become part of Moog's much-acclaimed work environment and culture. Moog's First Orders The first order for four valves was sold to Bendix Aviation. Larger orders followed from Boeing and Convair. The servovalve revolutionized the aerospace industry and led to the creation of Moog Inc. By 1954, Moog valves were standard equipment on about half of all US fighter planes and more than 70% of all guided missiles. The introduction of the industrial valve was a success, and by 1960 total sales had grown to more than $10 million. In the aerospace arena, in one of our proudest achievements, our engineers designed and manufactured the actuators on the Sturn C-5 rocket that carried Neil Armstrong to his historic first step on the moon in July 1969. 1970s through 1990s: Continued Growth During the 1970s, we entered the growing market for injection and blow molding process controls. More involvement in the US space program led to the award of a contract to supply hardware on the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle flew for the first time in 1981 utilizing the first application of our groundbreaking "Fly-by-Wire" technology. In 1988, Robert T. Brady, Aircraft Group President, was named CEO. Sales at the end of the decade reached $282 million. By the mid-1990s operations were established in India. Our first large acquisition, a purchase from Allied Signal, was the Torrance, California Aircraft Operation. By the end of 1999, revenues grew to more than $630 million.
