Point Blank Enterprises Product Guide 2012 - Point Blank Body ...

A Message from our CEO 

We have always believed that the success of Point Blank Enterprises begins with the customer and 

their trust in us to consistently produce and deliver the most technologically advanced protective 

solutions in the industry. Our host of soft and hard armor systems continue to exceed Military, 

Federal and National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standards, as well as, our own internal benchmarks. 

When it comes to ballistic protection, we realize that the very fiber of our existence lies within the 

lives we continue to save. This vested interest in safety and in providing the highest level of 

manufacturing excellence and professional integrity is deeply rooted within our corporate 

culture and collectively defines who we are as a company. 

Every endeavor is made to communicate how our products not only perform above and beyond 

national certification requirements but ultimately saves lives. Our hard working research & 

development group, manufacturing/production staff, quality assurance department, customer service 

team and extensive network of over 200 distributors nationwide, are steadfast in developing and 

delivering the safest and most comfortable body armor in the world. 

Our customers remain our top priority and will continue to benefit from the unmatched capabilities 

of Point Blank Enterprises and our growing portfolio of protective solutions from our four, well known 

and trusted brands, including Point Blank Body Armor, PACA Body Armor, Protective Products and 

PARACLETE. 

We will continue to enhance our technology with the same spirit and vision that has made us the 

#1 supplier of soft body armor to the U.S. Military and the premier source of body armor systems to 

law enforcement professionals and to corrections, federal, special operations and international 

markets. We believe our job is not only to ensure that we continue to live up to the standards we 

have set, but also to advance our awareness of our customer’s needs to even higher levels. 

We currently have more NIJ .06 certified products than any other ballistics company in the industry, 

as well as tri-compliant ballistic packages for the Federal markets. We place a key emphasis of 

providing our customers with lighter, more flexible body armor systems with greater ballistic 

protection and performance. We are working hard to build on our industry-leading delivery times, 

while continuing to drive innovation with the industry’s best products. I firmly believe the best is yet to 

come and on behalf of every member of the Point Blank family, thank you for your continued support. 

Sincerely, 

Jim Henderson
