Verco Materials originated as a spin-off of high-performance boron carbide technology developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After a number of years of DOD-supported research with the Army Research Laboratory, Army Natick, NavAir, and DARPA, we are pleased to offer a unique product for multi-hit rifle protection against M80 (.308 FMJ Ball), M43 (7.62x39mm Mild Steel Core), M67 (7.62x39mm FMJ Ball), M855 (5.56x45mm Green Tip), M193 (5.56x45mm FMJ Ball) and M855A1 (5.56x45mm EPR) threats.
Our innovative armor offerings are proudly manufactured in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia; backed by numerous US and international patents; successfully passed rigorous testing at nationally certified ballistics laboratories - including NIJ Standard 0101.06 and 0108.01. We're the only manufacturer in the world that has obtained the NIJ Level III certification for our imbricated tile design. Verco's ceramic tile technology transcends performance, comfort, and coverage through its ability to sustain multiple hits from a variety of rifle threats; its capacity to mold comfortably to the body and allow freedom of movement; and its means to extended ballistic coverages over areas of the body not traditionally covered by the majority of today's products.
