FACILITIES

Force Protection's facilities, production capacity and workforce have expanded dramatically.

Ladson, South Carolina - Company Headquarters

Force Protection was originally located in the Charleston Naval Yard. It moved to its current facilities in November 2003, occupying the first 87,000 sq ft of space in a plant that had been used to produce General Electric turbine engines. The four radio-controlled, 30-ton cranes greatly facilitate the movement of heavy equipment and steel throughout the manufacturing process.

Force Protection now employs more than 1,000 people in its 400,000 square feet of administrative, manufacturing, test, and integration space in Ladson and has increased its vehicle production rate by more than 20x in 2007. Additional facilities in other locations are being added in order to continue to support the demand for our life saving products and technology.

Force Protection acquired this facility in July 2007. The company will use this 430,000 square foot facility to further increase production capability to supply its life saving vehicles in greater numbers.
