Kord Industries

Kord Industries, or simply Kord, is a large multi-billion dollar, multinational research and development corporation headquarted in Palmera City and specializing in weaponry and technological defense. The company is currently lead by Jenny Kord.
== History ==
Founded by Thomas Kord at some point during or prior to 1985, Kord Industries would eventually become a leading force in the technological defense industry.
Kord Industries pledged to expand investments within Metropolis in the wake of the devastating events of the Black Zero Event and the example laid out by billionnaire Lex Luthor, who had earlier announced his plans to rebuild Lexcorp Tower.
The company is best known for its military defense contracts. By 2015, Kord Industries' research and development budget had reached $707,000,000. However, by that time they were facing heavy competition in the field from LexCorp Industries, thereby placing Kord in second place in terms of budget. That same year, Kord Industries' products had become one of the many popular brands being sold at the Avenue of Tomorrow in Metropolis.
At some point Kord Industries moved away from developing weapons. At some point after Thomas Kord passed away, leadership was passed over to his son Ted Kord.
