A relatively new business that recently located in the Pocomoke City Industrial Park is Hardwire. They manufacture a state of the art armor product that has wide application for the US Military as well as a host of civilian projects all over the world.
The proprietary technology is based upon the same concept as is employed in the production of steel belted tires (in simple terms).
Hardwire will begin building their new manufacturing facility on the former site of the Campbell's Soup Plant following a joint effort by Pocomoke City and Worcester County. The new facilities will be going up soon and will consist of approximately 40,000 square feet. They will also be providing dozens of quality jobs for our region.
They recently finished outfitting a Humvee with the armor which affords our fighting men and women protection from IED's on the current battlefield. The armor is much lighter and more effective than steel plating (currently in use) and will not keep the vehicles from being able to go off road where it is safer for them to travel.
Just think, our troops will soon be protected by armor manufactured right here in Pocomoke City! Truly this is something of which we can all be excited and proud!
May God bless our troops.
