Ballistic armor manufacturer with industrial automation and compliance focus
Hardwire manufactures protective armor systems across military, law enforcement, and commercial segments using industrial control platforms (Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Wonderware) paired with CAD and simulation tools (SolidWorks, MATLAB, AutoCAD). Recent hiring acceleration spans engineering, finance, and security roles—a pattern consistent with scaling production and hardening against DoD cybersecurity compliance requirements, which appear as a documented internal pain point alongside data protection and equipment downtime reduction.
Hardwire designs and manufactures ballistic protection systems for defense, law enforcement, municipal, commercial, and consumer markets. The company operates from Pocomoke City, Maryland with a 51–200-person team and distributed global supply partners. Production relies on industrial automation platforms and custom equipment design, with active engineering focused on electrical control systems for manufacturing lines. The business has operated since 2000 and maintains worldwide distribution channels across diverse customer segments.
Hardwire uses Rockwell Automation, Siemens, and Wonderware for industrial controls; SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Unigraphics for design; MATLAB for simulation; and standard enterprise infrastructure (Windows, Active Directory, Dell hardware). CMMC compliance tools are in use.
