Skybolt Aeromotive Corp. received a William C. Schwartz Industry Innovation Award for its next-generation alloy panel fasteners that deliver “the strength of steel” at half the weight of conventional manufacturing fasteners, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The fasteners are used in several industries, including commercial-aircraft production and NASCAR racecars.

“If it flies, races, or launches, it probably has a Skybolt on it,” the company states on its website.
The Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission selected recipients for the annual awards, named after the late high-tech pioneer Bill Schwartz. Five other companies were recognized for their involvement in everything from advanced health care and optics to ammunition coatings and video games.
