Name: Anne Shybunko-Moore
Age: 39
Company: GSE Dynamics Inc., a military parts maker
Location: Hauppauge
Job title: President
Second job title: Leads the
Hauppauge Industrial Association manufacturing committee
Where Shybunko-Moore thinks the industry is headed:
In her work with the HIA, she wants to identify an expertise - composites, perhaps - to define the Island's manufacturing sector as defense and aerospace once did.
Her company's new direction:
Diversified five years ago into light, durable composites that can be made in complex shapes; this led to increased U.S. Air Force sales and new U.S. Navy sales
of such parts as submarine
periscopes and antennas.
What core composite [skills] do we have that would allow us to be a leader in composites? Let's look and see what we have."
