Proven, Innovative and Agile - Winner of 2019 Lewis Trophy for Australian Defence & SME Best Team of the Year for worked performed on LAND 125-3B Soldier Combat Ensemble. Since its inception in the late 1990s, Craig International Ballistics has become the leading Australian manufacturer of combat-proven body armour systems through consistently delivering on time, on budget, high-quality equipment. The company initially developed body armour for use by the ADF in East Timor and after demonstrating success with its early production, and with ADF involvement in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars deepening, DMO began purchasing body armour from Craig International Ballistics on a regular basis. Craig International Ballistics has now supplied well over 100,000 Soft Armour Inserts (SAI) and hard ballistic plates to both Defence and Local Police Forces and is the largest supplier of police body armour in Australia. The company also specialises in manufacturing armoured Cash in Transit Vehicles and is a distributor of American Glass Products (AGP) bullet resistant glass. Success in innovation and production has depended on the company being agile and able to respond swiftly and imaginatively to new demands and challenges. Intrinsically as a family owned company, Craig International Ballistics must take a long-term, not short-term, view to the development of leading-edge armour systems. Craig International Ballistics is a forward leaning company that carefully exploits technical innovation and business agility to develop leading-edge armour systems. The result is the consistent delivery of combat-proven body armour systems to the Australian Defence Force and many other customers on time and on budget.
