Our Story
OVERVIEW
Iten Defense, LLC was established in 2019 following the acquisition of the defense operations of Iten Industries, Inc. While our name is new, our legacy is built on decades of experience and innovation in composite armor. Headquartered in Ohio we carry forward a tradition of engineering survivability solutions trusted by military and law enforcement agencies worldwide.
WHERE IT STARTED
Our roots began with high-performance fiberglass ballistic panels designed to withstand projectiles, ricochet, heat, and fire — protection proven in the most demanding missions. Over the years, this foundation expanded to include advanced aramid and Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) products. Today, Iten Defense manufactures a wide range of composite armor materials, from complex shapes to some of the industry’s largest high-pressure panels, delivering cutting-edge protection across land, sea, air, and personal applications.
