What TAYLOR DEVICES, INC. does

In the company’s own words

Taylor Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: TAYD) is a specialized manufacturer of shock absorption, rate control, and energy storage devices for use in machinery, equipment, and structures across multiple industries. The company, incorporated in New York in 1955, designs and produces nine primary product categories: Seismic Dampers, Fluidicshoks®, Crane and Industrial Buffers, Self-Adjusting Shock Absorbers, Liquid Die Springs, Vibration Dampers, Machined Springs, Custom Shock and Vibration Isolators, and Custom Actuators. Many of these products are customized for aerospace and defense applications.

The company operates through three primary customer segments: industrial, structural, and aerospace/defense. In the most recent fiscal year, aerospace and defense represented 66 percent of revenue, structural applications accounted for 25 percent, and industrial customers comprised 9 percent. Seismic dampers, designed to mitigate earthquake effects on buildings and bridges, represent a substantial portion of sales. The company serves both domestic and international markets, with 87 percent of revenue generated in the United States, 8 percent in Asia, and 5 percent in other regions.

Taylor Devices operates manufacturing facilities totaling more than 100,000 square feet across multiple interconnected buildings on Tonawanda Island in North Tonawanda, New York, as well as additional industrial buildings nearby. The company employs 135 people and maintains a technical sales force of company employees for domestic sales, supplemented by non-employee sales representatives for international markets. The company holds 24 patents expiring through 2042.

The company generates revenue through both long-term custom projects and standard product sales. Long-term projects involve revenue recognition over time based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs, while standard products are recognized upon shipment. As of the most recent fiscal year end, the company maintained a backlog of 139 open sales orders valued at $52.8 million, with 92 percent attributable to aerospace and defense customers.
