HighCom Global Security, Inc. (HCGS) Supplies Life-saving Private Label Armor Solutions

- Trusted resource for high-quality, cost-effective NIJ-certified body armor
- Serving U.S. government and law enforcement agencies for over 20 years
- Supplied ordnance to U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan

Since 1997, HighCom Global Security, Inc. (OTC: HCGS) has been supplying the U.S. government and law enforcement agencies throughout the nation with a variety of soft and hard body protecting solutions. When U.S. troops were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, the company was there, playing a major role supplying hundreds of thousands of hard armor pieces. As a result, HighCom is now recognized as a trusted and valuable resource for high quality and cost-effective NIJ-certified armor solutions. Located in Columbus, Ohio, the company’s manufacturing and distribution facility and its R&D and ballistic laboratory allows it to effectively manage all critical aspects of design, production and supply of its products. And HighCom continues to work with the largest manufacturers and distributors in the world through its OEM and private-label program, many of whom rely on HighCom to design, develop, test and manufacture armor solutions under subcontract agreements.

Protecting law enforcement officers (LEOs) with effective body armor has become ever more crucial in recent times. Data published by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) indicate the rising level of threat to LEOs. In 2016, law enforcement fatalities nationwide rose to their highest level in five years, with 135 officers killed in the line of duty (http://nnw.fm/lYz5l). This represents a 10 percent increase over the 123 who died in the line of duty in 2015 and is the highest total since 2011, when 177 officers made the ultimate sacrifice. Firearms-related incidents were the number one cause of death in 2016, with 64 officers shot and killed across the country. This represents a significant spike—56 percent—over the 41 officers killed by gunfire in 2015. Of the 64 shooting deaths of officers in 2016, 21 (33%) were the result of ambush-style attacks—the highest total in more than two decades. If nothing else, these alarming statistics demonstrate the pressing need LEOs have for effective body armor.

And HighCom, in the business of saving lives, has a wide range of body protection gear. Its product lineup includes Type IIA body armor, which offers basic protection against smaller caliber handgun threats; Type II body armor, which provides protection against larger handguns, including many common smaller caliber pistols with standard pressure ammunition and against many revolvers; Type IIIA body armor, which can resist heavy pistol calibers including most law enforcement ammunition and many higher powered revolvers, and Type III and IV body armor, which provide protection against rifle rounds, generally only used in tactical situations.

In February 2017, the company introduced four new hard armor models to its ballistic product line, receiving NIJ compliance status through the National Institute of Justice Compliance Testing Program (NIJ CTP), the only nationally accepted standard for body armor. And in July 2017, approval was received from the NIJ on two additional armor models: a Level IIIa elite, lightweight, high-performance soft armor panel; and a Level III++, multi-curve, hard armor ballistic plate. With the launch of these new models, HighCom Armor now has 11 hard armor NIJ 0101.06 certified ballistic plate models, as well as five soft armor NIJ 0101.06 certified panel solutions.

Operating from a 32,865 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility located in Columbus, Ohio, HighCom can handle large scale, time-sensitive global supply needs. Its logistics center in Florida serves customers in North America, such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, local law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, municipal authorities and large corporations, as well as others throughout the world. Past sales have been to Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Recent financial performance has exceeded expectations. Revenues for the second quarter 2017 were $1.5 million, a triple-digit increase over revenues of $698K reported in the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, HighCom Global reported revenues of $2.6 million, an increase of more than $700,000 from revenues of $1.9 million reported in the first half of 2016.
