Howard & Sons (Australia)
This famous Australian fireworks company was founded in 1922, and has provided spectacular pyrotechnic displays all over the world ever since. Howard & Sons famously provided the historical displays for the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932 and the Sydney Opera House in 1973. More recently, Howard & Sons have been lighting up the skies for numerous festivals and major sporting events, including this year's Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
With 88 years in the business, and four generations worth of talent, Howard & Sons are a major force in the Oman World Fireworks Championship 2010.
