When Protective Apparel Corporation of America, Inc. (PACA) was founded in 1975 , the company had one mission in mind: to produce the highest quality and safest body armor in the world. By combining superior craftsmanship with leading edge ballistic technology, this singular vision has become a reality - offering law enforcement, military and corrections professionals the most advanced ballistic protection available today.

Supported by the PBSI Armor Group, an industry leading research and development team and a multi-million dollar Technology and Testing Center, PACA Body Armor is solidly entrenched as one of the top manufacturers of concealable and tactical body armor and anti-fragmentation protective systems.

Incorporated into PACA's Technology Center are two 75 feet ballistic shooting test ranges. The ranges are equipped to meet all of the requirements of an NIJ Certified ballistic testing facility and are capable of testing a full spectrum of projectiles from 22 to 50 caliber projectiles or bullets, as well as 2, 4, 6, 16 and 64 grain fragment simulating projectiles (FSP). This flexibility provides PACA's engineering team the capability to test not only to the NIJ requirements but also Military fragmentation and International requirements.

PACA's passion for innovation and unwavering commitment to customer service continues to set them apart from other companies. Whether you need a specially engineered body armor to protect against "special threats" or a totally new generation of correctional armor, PACA Body Armor delivers products which consistently exceed the expectations of our customers. Their standards of quality ensure that when you rely on PACA for your body armor, you can expect high-quality protective products at an outstanding value with superb customer service.
