Ballistics manufacturer. Complete industrial control
Pangolin Defense is first and foremost a manufacturer. This allows us to control the entire production chain, from design to final manufacture. Our industrial capability relies on a high-performance machine fleet and on a network of subcontractors rigorously selected for their high standards and reliability. This organisation guarantees strict quality control, full traceability of materials and the ability to adapt quickly to our customers' specific needs. We develop ballistic solutions designed to last and to meet real operational constraints.
proud of our country
Industrial site in Haute-Marne, France.
Our production is based in France, in the heart of Haute-Marne, on an industrial site of over 1,000 m². This facility allows us to carry out key manufacturing stages in-house. This local industrial base ensures better control over lead times, consistent quality and greater responsiveness to specific requests. Pangolin Defense thus follows a model of controlled production, far removed from standardised import models.
Research & Development. Innovation and validation
Innovation is at the heart of our approach. Our research and development team works continuously to improve the ballistic and ergonomic performance of our solutions. Every product undergoes laboratory testing to the applicable standards to guarantee a level of protection that meets industry requirements. We also work with institutional bodies, including the DGA (French Defence Procurement Agency), so that our developments fit within a strict technical and regulatory framework. This rigour allows us to offer equipment that is reliable, validated and suited to real conditions in the field.
International presence – US subsidiary
To support its international growth, Pangolin Defense relies on a subsidiary based in the United States, PGL Corp. This presence allows us to respond effectively to the needs of the North American market while strengthening our logistics and operational capabilities. It is also a strategic base for supporting our partners and deploying our solutions on a larger scale.
OUR AREAS OF EXPERTISE
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Pangolin Defense develops personal protective equipment designed to meet the demands of high-risk environments. Our solutions include bulletproof vests, ballistic helmets and shields dedicated to public order. Each piece of equipment is designed to offer the optimal balance between protection level, ergonomics and mobility, ensuring effective use in the field.
VEHICLE ARMOURING
We design vehicle protection solutions that take into account the operational constraints specific to each mission. Our armour systems are developed to integrate seamlessly with existing platforms while providing a high level of ballistic resistance. The aim is to enhance safety without compromising the vehicle's mobility or performance.
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Pangolin Defense also offers solutions dedicated to protecting sensitive infrastructure, such as institutional buildings or exposed sites. Each project is approached on a bespoke basis to precisely address the security challenges of the site concerned. Our systems are designed to blend into their environment while providing reliable protection against identified threats.
