A History of Excellence
Legacy. Tradition. Excellence. To some, these may be mere words, remnants of a time when companies embraced their history and delivered on their promises. But, at The Safariland Group we live those values every day. We live them when we empower over a thousand people to design, engineer, research and deliver our protective equipment products to those that protect us. We live them as we continuously seek new innovations to add to the premier group of Safariland brands that have been protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals for over 50 years. We live them when we help save lives. Our Safariland Saves Club® has chronicled over 2,034 individuals whose lives have been saved in part through using our products. We're proud of who we are and what we do.
The Safariland Group's rich heritage didn't become what it is today simply from assimilating many protective product brands into one organization. Our Company has grown from our collective pledge to achieve excellence and our commitment to focus on the customer first. It is a common thread that binds us together on our journey. It has gotten us to where we are today. From one brand's small-town beginnings to another born from the love of a son to his father - this is OUR Company. This is The Safariland Group. And Together, We Save Lives™.
We got our start in 1967 with a contract for the U.S. Navy, manufacturing the iconic “Dixie Cup” hat worn by U.S. sailors. Over the decades, we’ve supplied more than 120 million garments to the U.S. Department of Defense, law enforcement agencies, and the public safety community.
You may not have heard of us, but you’ve definitely seen our work.
Our heritage informs how we operate. We are a retail brand, but we still think like a contract manufacturer. Contracts aren’t won by selling a particular lifestyle, telling unique stories, or appealing to emotion. They are won with features, quality, and demonstrable value. Contracts are won on the concrete.
This mentality drives every aspect of our production. Make it Work. Make it Last. Make it Real. Or don’t make it at all.
