Executive Summary
AETCO Industries, a pioneer in tactical gear production since 1979, presents LeoAir, a next-generation solution poised to redefine the standards of law enforcement duty gear. Launched in January 2024, LeoAir is not just an incremental improvement but a profound reimagining of what duty gear can be—lightweight, ergonomically refined, and crafted with unmatched quality through an exclusive in-house production model. With strong endorsements from esteemed agencies like the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), LeoAir is set to capture a commanding share of the tactical duty gear market, poised to redefine safety and efficiency for law enforcement nationwide.
This report outlines an ambitious yet achievable plan to scale LeoAir production to 70,000 units by 2025, meeting rising demand from prominent law enforcement bodies across the U.S., including the NYPD, LAPD, and LASD. With strategic investment partnerships, AETCO aims to not only meet but surpass market expectations, setting new industry benchmarks in tactical innovation.
Company Overview
Since 1979, Aetco Industries has built a legacy of quality, innovation, and reliability in tactical gear, anchored by a unique in-house manufacturing approach that encompasses every stage—design, tooling, and assembly. This self-sufficient model gives AETCO unprecedented control over product quality, from material selection to final assembly, positioning LeoAir as the most resilient, comfortable, and user-friendly belt pouch system available today. In a landscape dominated by major players like Safariland and Point Blank, LeoAir’s exclusive, leather-like yet featherweight design makes it unrivaled in both appearance and functionality, providing officers the security and flexibility needed to perform at their best.
Market Analysis
With over 700,000 sworn officers across the United States, LeoAir addresses an urgent, largely unmet need for duty gear that prioritizes officer health, safety, and mobility. By targeting just 10% of this market, our objective is to equip 70,000 officers with LeoAir, supported by strong interest from agencies such as the NYPD (33,000 officers), LAPD (9,000 officers), and LASD (9,000 officers). This growth plan, while conservative, enables AETCO to scale production responsibly while expanding manufacturing capacity to seamlessly meet future demand. Moreover, as government and defense sectors prioritize ergonomic and innovative equipment, LeoAir is uniquely poised to expand its footprint across both law enforcement and defense, delivering unprecedented value in efficiency and officer protection.
