EMS - Body Armor

Founded in 2005, Armor Express has grown to become one of the leading designers, manufacturers, and suppliers of life-saving, protective solutions. The Company began by serving the Domestic Law Enforcement market and following the merger with KDH Defense Systems in 2019, now proudly supports the U.S. Military and Department of Defense, Federal and Domestic Law Enforcement, and First Responders both domestically and abroad.

Our passion for producing the most innovative armor systems is made possible by the commitment of every Armor Express employee, many of whom have spent their lives serving our country. Through our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Eden, NC, and Central Lake, MI, we manufacture both soft and hard armor solutions for America’s protectors. In Michigan, we house our Ballistics Research Laboratory (BRL), where we test the most advanced ballistic materials, developing solutions that meet NIJ, DEA and FBI protocols, and various special threats for any mission-critical requirement. We are committed to safety first and foremost and collaborate with our partners to bring to market, lightweight, high-performance ballistic solutions, along with a full suite of concealable, overt, and tactical carriers. We also manufacture and source a full line of innovative hard armor plates, helmets, and shields, all designed to meet the most stringent safety standards and to bring our protectors home safe.
