About TAYLOR DEVICES, INC.
Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed August 18, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.
Item 1. Business.
Taylor Devices, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of New York on July 22, 1955 and is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of shock absorption, rate control, and energy storage devices for use in various types of machinery, equipment and structures. In addition to manufacturing and selling existing product lines, the Company continues to develop new and advanced technology products.
Principal Products
The Company manufactures and sells a group of very similar products that have many different applications for customers. These similar products are included in one of nine categories, namely, 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. Custom derivations of all of these products are designed and manufactured for many aerospace and defense applications. The following is a summary of the capabilities and applications for these products.
Seismic Dampers are designed to mitigate the effects of earthquakes on structures and represent a substantial portion of the Company’s sales. Fluidicshoks® are small, extremely compact shock absorbers with up to 19,200 inch-pound capacities, produced in 12 standard sizes for primary use in the defense, aerospace and commercial industries. Crane and Industrial Buffers are larger versions of the Fluidicshoks® with up to 10,890,000 inch-pound capacities, produced in more than 50 standard sizes for industrial applications on cranes and crane trolleys, truck docks, ladle and ingot cars, ore trolleys and train car stops. Self-Adjusting Shock Absorbers, which include versions of Fluidicshoks® and crane and industrial buffers, automatically adjust to different impact conditions, and are designed for high cycle application primarily in heavy industry. Liquid Die Springs are used as component parts of machinery and equipment used in the manufacture of tools and dies. Vibration Dampers are used primarily by the aerospace and defense industries to control the response of electronics and optical systems subjected to air, ship, or spacecraft vibration. Machined Springs are precisely controlled mechanical springs manufactured from a variety of materials. These are used primarily for aerospace applications that require custom features that are not possible with conventional wound coil springs. Custom Shock and Vibration Isolators are comprised of various configurations including liquid springs, fluid dampers, elastomeric springs and Pumpkin™ Mounts. They are typically used for defense applications. Custom Actuators are typically of the gas-charged type, using high pressure, that have custom features not available from other suppliers. These actuators are used for special aerospace and defense applications.

Sales and Distribution
The Company uses a technical sales force consisting of Company employees for sales in the United States. From time to time, the Company uses the services of non-employee sales representatives for sales throughout the rest of the world. Specialized technical sales in custom marketing activities outside the U.S. are serviced by these sales representatives under the direction and with the assistance of the Company's in-house technical sales staff. Sales representatives typically have non-exclusive agreements with the Company, which, in most instances, provide for payment of commissions on sales at 5% to 10% of the product's net aggregate

selling price. The Company recorded zero non-employee commission expense for both the years ending May 31, 2026 and 2025. A limited number of foreign sales representatives also have non-exclusive agreements with the Company to purchase the Company's products for resale purposes.
Competition
The Company faces some competition for hydraulic energy absorbers on mature aerospace and defense programs. Other competition in these sectors include the use of competing technologies, not necessarily of similar design as the Company’s products. For the industrial products group, several foreign companies and two U.S. companies are the Company’s main competitors in the production of crane buffers and industrial shock absorbers.
The Company competes directly against three other firms supplying structural damping devices for use in the U.S. For structural applications outside of the U.S., the Company competes directly with several other firms, particularly in Japan and Taiwan. The Company competes with numerous other firms that supply alternative seismic protection technologies.
Raw Materials and Supplies
The principal raw materials and supplies used by the Company in the manufacture of its products are provided by numerous U.S. and foreign suppliers. Management believes that the loss of any one of these suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Dependence Upon Major Customers
Sales to five customers accounted for approximately 45% (11%, 11%, 10%, 8% and 5%, respectively) of our net sales for 2026. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 42% (21%, 15% and 6%, respectively) of our net sales for 2025. Management believes that the loss of any or all of these customers, unless the business is replaced by the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
The Company holds 24 patents expiring at different times until the year 2042.
Terms of Sale
The Company had no inventory out on consignment and there were no consignment sales for the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025. No extended payment terms are offered. During the year ended May 31, 2026, delivery time after receipt of orders averaged 8 to 10 weeks for the Company's standard industrial products. Due to the volatility of structural and aerospace/defense programs, we usually require progress payments for larger projects where the Company supplies custom designed components.
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services
Contracts between the Company and the federal government or its independent contractors are subject to termination at the election of the federal government. Contracts are generally entered into on a fixed price basis. If the federal government should limit defense spending, these contracts could be reduced or terminated, which management believes would have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
Research and Development
To accommodate growth and to maintain its presence in current markets, the Company engages in product research and development activities in connection with the design of its products. Occasionally, research and development for products in the aerospace and defense sectors is funded by customers or the federal government. The Company also engages in research testing of its products. For the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company expended $776,000 and $444,000, respectively, on product research. For the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, government-funded research and development totaled $1,482,000 and $1,141,000, respectively. For the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, customer-funded research and development totaled $90,000 and $228,000, respectively.
