1984

1987

The total recorded in 1987 would not be eclipsed for nine years.

1995: After losing more than $20 million during a seven-year period, Ceradyne posts a profit of $2 million.

2003

2004

Flush with cash, the company was able to complete an acquisition in May 2004, when it purchased San Diego, California-based Quest Technology LP, a privately held company that molded ceramic shapes for medical applications.
