Fireworks Firm Finds Boom Time From Holiday Demand
Patrick Moriarty runs Pyrotronics Corp in Anaheim, a major western fireworks maker. Annual stockpiling runs from June 28 to July 4, with sales rising in May through Independence Day. About 200 staff year round, nearly 500 during peak season, and 33 million in 1981 sales. Imports from China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea supply two thirds of U.S. fireworks, while 35 states allow general use with varying rules.
