Founded in 1971, TPG has been developing lightweight composite armor solutions that have been deployed by all branches of the U.S. Military, including the Army, Special Operations Forces, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force, as well as international armed forces around the world. TPG's products span the gamut, from body armor systems to aircraft and vehicular armor. Within body armor, TPG manufactures and supplies the U.S. Military with diverse hard armor offerings, including SAPI, ESAPI and XSAPI plates, as well as National Institute of Justice ("NIJ") Level III and Level IV plates for law enforcement.
Since 2001, TPG has also supplied aircraft armor to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) and today, their Ballistic Protection System ("BPS") protects over 90% of the Department of Defense's rotary wing fleet, with over 2,000 BPS systems delivered to the Iraqi and Afghani theaters. Additionally, TPG has a growing presence in vehicular armor, producing lower weight vehicular armor kits for several military vehicles, including the Bradley, Patriot, Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, and MRAP. Combining its products with its systems integration capabilities, such as rapid digitalization/scanning, 3D modeling, ground vehicle and aviation platforms, TPG works closely with the Department of Defense and its prime customers to develop survivability solutions for America's Warfighters and its allies.
Lex Watson, Vice President of Point Blank's Hard Armor division added, "We are very excited about this strategic acquisition of TPG and look forward to the growth it will bring for our Company and the added protection for our customers. It remains our honor to serve the U.S. Military and law enforcement communities, and the advanced capabilities through TPG will enhance our ability to provide our customers with the highest performing products, while expediting development initiatives for next generation solutions."
