These include American Body Armor, Second Chance, Protech, Defense Technology, Bianchi, Monadnock and Hatch, and others. According to O’Brien, by uniting the law-enforcement brands under the Safariland banner, the company is better positioned to deliver more innovative products and solutions, while enhancing service. “We are committed to fostering a one-company culture to deliver exceptional value for our customers,” O’Brien said. “Safariland will provide the law-enforcement and security markets with the same top-quality products we’ve manufactured for years, but now through one streamlined organization.” Officials say the most evident change in Safariland’s organization will be seen in how the company goes to market. The new Safariland will promote its products to specific end-user customer segments based on the customer’s specific operation: Patrol, Duty, Tactical, Corrections, Security, Forensics and Shooting Sports. Relevant products from eight different categories will be aligned and offered within each customer segment, thereby making it easier to select and purchase products based on the user’s mission.
