The company will occupy booth No. 41653 at the Venetian Expo Level 1, where it plans to showcase significant expansions to its protective equipment portfolio available to federal, state, and local government agencies.
The exhibition will feature the company's Made in the USA, ultra-lightweight and ultra-thin hard armor portfolio, which is accessible through a U.S. General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract.
