A global leader in precision engineered energetic devices for the Automotive Products, Industrial, and Medical industries. Automotive Products: SDI has been producing highly reliable pyrotechnic products for automotive occupant protection systems since the 1980’s. At SDI we are constantly focused on world class Safety, Quality and Delivery standards as the driving forces behind our business. Our goal is to meet the needs of our global automotive customers through the design and manufacture of pyrotechnic devices and systems which lead the industry in terms of quality and relaibility. Industrial: SDI produces pyrotechnic products for a wide array of industrial applications. Mechanisms driven by SDI products are used in applications where high speed, precision and extreme high reliability are critical factors. Medical: SDI, in cooperation with Daicel Group, is actively exploring a variety of possible applications in the medical devices industry that would benefit from the high speed and high reliability of our energetic capabilities. The prime candidate for application of this technology is a needle free injection device from a variety of drug injection applications. By using pyrotechnic capabilities, both the depth of injection and the accuracy of the dosage can be very tightly controlled.
