How we got here
CT Pyro started as a small shop building product for our own shows. Over time we moved heavily into manufacturing for other licensed operators and specialty projects.
Along the way we adopted and began supporting the WASP Superstinger line—Widmann Automatic Shell Pasting—for shops that already know how to build shells but need a better way to close and reinforce them.
Today CT Pyro focuses on two things: building consistent fireworks product, and helping other manufacturers and builders keep their WASP machines running so they can spend more time creating shells and less time hand-pasting.
- Privately owned, with a long-term view
- Experience across municipal, competition, and special projects
- Understanding of what real shops need from both shells and equipment
