Badger Technology Group Inc. Port Washington Industry: Avionics/Aerospace

Port Washington-based avionics startup Badger Technology Group Inc. landed a major contract to modernize a fleet of C-130 cargo airplanes for Saudi Arabia. Work on the contract was about to begin when COVID-19 hit and brought many industries – and Badger Tech’s contract – to a standstill.

Instead of shutting down, the company got to work after one of its energy storage scientists suggested the company could design and engineer a large-scale disinfecting system using ozone instead of chemicals. It is an approach used widely in water purification and other applications to kill germs, bacteria and mold and had worked against the MERS and SARS viruses.

Badger Tech took staff time that would have gone to the C-130 contract and instead poured it into designing, assembling and distributing the disinfecting systems worldwide within two months. The systems could be adapted for use in sports, stadiums, schools, vehicles and buildings. The company has already made sales to hotels in India, Israel, Mexico, England and the United States.
