TYR Tactical And Safariland To Work Together Under Cadre
JACKSONVILLE, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group and a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) key brands, announced today that Cadre has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TYR Tactical (https://www.tyrtactical.com/), a leading global manufacturer of tactical gear and equipment for military and law enforcement.
A family-owned business founded by Jason and Jane Beck in 2010, TYR Tactical is a leading manufacturer of mission-critical personal protective equipment and tactical gear for military and law enforcement globally. Designed to meet the exacting needs of tactical operators in high-risk environments, its suite of products includes plate carriers, vests, hard armor, shields and accessories. Headquartered in Peoria, Arizona, TYR Tactical serves a worldwide customer base, including top-tier special operations units and government agencies in the U.S. and international militaries.
Brad Williams, President, Cadre commented “TYR Tactical and Safariland are two of the most recognizable brands in their respective customer bases, each with distinct strengths and minimal customer overlap. This strategic alignment allows both brands to operate collaboratively in the market while maintaining their unique identities and customer relationships. TYR Tactical and Safariland will work together to expand capabilities and drive innovation across Cadre’s public safety portfolio.”
TYR Tactical brings advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities to Cadre, including proprietary pressing and autoclave technologies that enable the production of next-generation plates and shields using cutting-edge materials. These capabilities will complement Safariland’s existing product development efforts and accelerate innovation across both brands. TYR Tactical’s patented female body armor, designed for ergonomic fit without added bulk, further exemplifies its commitment to inclusive, high-performance design.
Jason Beck, CEO of TYR Tactical, commented, “We share with Cadre a long-standing commitment to innovation, quality and a life-saving mission. We are excited to partner with the Cadre team and look forward to working together to enhance our ability to serve those who protect us every day.
