Engineering & Manufacturing

Capabilities

Full-spectrum design, engineering, and production of rigid, textile, and hybrid transport and protection systems — vertically integrated under one roof in Los Angeles.

Vertically Integrated Manufacturing

The Armored Group operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer — controlling every phase from initial engineering concept through final assembly, quality verification, and logistics packaging. This single-source model ensures tighter tolerances, faster iteration, and clear accountability across the entire production chain.

Our capabilities span three distinct but interconnected manufacturing disciplines: rigid case systems fabricated from metals and polymers, textile and soft-goods systems built from engineered fabrics, and hybrid assemblies that combine both material families into unified transport solutions.

Manufacturing Capabilities

01

Rigid Case Systems

CNC-routed aluminum, welded steel, rotomolded polyethylene, and thermoformed ABS cases engineered to MIL-STD-810 shock, vibration, and environmental specifications. Single-unit prototypes through production volumes.

  • Aluminum welding & fabrication (TIG/MIG)
  • CNC routing & precision machining
  • Rotational molding (polyethylene)
  • Thermoforming (ABS, HDPE, polycarbonate)
  • Custom foam CNC cutting & bonding
02

Textile & Soft Goods

Sewn and RF-welded soft cases, bags, covers, and containment systems fabricated from Cordura, ballistic nylon, Kevlar-blend textiles, and coated technical fabrics. Full pattern-making and grading capability.

  • Industrial sewing (single & double needle)
  • RF welding & ultrasonic bonding
  • Pattern engineering & digital grading
  • Webbing, hardware & closure integration
  • Lamination & coating application
03

Hybrid Integration

Combined rigid-and-soft assemblies that merge structural shells with textile interfaces, cushioning systems, and modular inserts. Engineered as unified systems rather than assembled afterthoughts.

  • Rigid-soft interface engineering
  • Modular insert & divider systems
  • Integrated suspension & cushioning
  • Multi-material bonding & fastening
  • System-level environmental testing

From Concept to Production

01

Design Engineering

3D CAD modeling, FEA analysis, tolerance stack-up studies, and DFM optimization for every transport system we produce.

02

Prototyping

Rapid first-article builds using production tooling and materials. No cosmetic mock-ups — functional prototypes tested to spec.

03

Testing

MIL-STD-810 environmental testing, drop and vibration qualification, IP-rated seal verification, and thermal cycling validation.

04

Production

Scalable manufacturing from single-unit custom builds through multi-thousand-unit production runs with statistical process control.
