What Is an OEM Ballistic Vest Manufacturer?
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) ballistic vest manufacturer produces body armor based on the specific design, branding, and performance requirements of the buyer. The buyer (you) retains control over:
– Design and technical specs
– Ballistic level (e.g., NIJ IIIA, IV)
– Branding, logos, packaging
– Material and color selection
Yakeda’s OEM services provide government agencies and tactical brands with complete control over their product lines — backed by certified production and compliant documentation.
Why Choose OEM for Ballistic Vests in Military Tenders
Government and military tenders often require:
– Custom configurations (e.g., MOLLE layout, IRR fabric)
– Specific camouflage or identification patches
– Agency branding or national color coding
– Strict compliance with local or international standards
OEM manufacturing allows procurement teams to meet tender requirements without compromise. It also ensures that tactical gear matches the operational realities of the field — not just generic off-the-shelf designs.
