In a move that strengthens its position as a key provider of safety and survivability equipment, Cadre Holdings announced that its subsidiary, Safariland, has been selected to provide ballistic panels for an FBI armor contract. The contract, awarded to Predictive Ballistics, is valued at $61 million over a five-year period, with Safariland’s technology serving as the critical component for the Bureau's overt armor kits.
This win comes as mid-cap defense and security firms see steady growth, with Cadre Holdings maintaining a market capitalization of approximately $1.3 billion per market data.
