Founded in 2011, Buffalo Armory Group manufactures American-made steel armor plates and handheld shields exclusively for military and first-responder agencies. The Buffalo company grew from a former Army major general’s firsthand experience with ceramic armor and developed patented induction heat-treatment technology to produce thinner, durable, multi-hit protection without the micro-cracking risk associated with ceramics. Its products use 100% U.S. materials, carry a 10-year warranty, and include NIJ-certified solutions.
