About Us
Innovation
Innovating for Your Mission Success

Solutions require innovation. In 1836, William Bickford’s invention of the safety fuse (a superior initiator for mining explosives) heralded not only a safer era for miners, but the formation of the Ensign-Bickford company. From this single but significant milestone, EBAD has developed global industry influence and extensive capabilities. Ideas, insights, and engineering breakthroughs have made us developers of the most reliable and precise Space and Defense energetic and mechanism solutions available.

Our history of providing highly-reliable solutions is unequaled, as is our commitment to meeting delivery, safety, and performance requirements. Our ability to deliver solutions to stringent customer requirements to a diverse Space and Defense customer base has set us apart from our competitors. The employees at each of our facilities across the country strive every day to meet our commitments, equipping our customers for mission success.

Evolution
Evolving with Our Customers

The application of Ensign-Bickford products to strategic platforms in the 1950s enabled these new missiles to achieve higher levels of mission performance. Since that time, our customers have relied on EBAD’s mission-proven technologies that can evolve with mission needs. Whether our products are used for Launch Vehicle stage separation, Missile motor ignition, Satellite solar array release, or Warfighter door breaching, our products and capabilities enable your mission success today, and in the future.
