Ceramic Body Armor Made in the USA: Spartan Armor Celebrates 13,000-plus Sold
Americans love celebrating a good milestone. We look fondly at the 1980 US hockey team scoring two goals in the third period to upset the Soviet Union in what became known as the Miracle on Ice. We remember Rickey Henderson stealing 130 Bases in 1982. We praise the landmark Heller decision the US Supreme Court issued in 2008.
Arizona celebrated its centennial in 2012, marking it becoming the 48th state in 1912. And right here in our Tucson, AZ operations facility, Spartan Armor wants to acknowledge our own milestone. We just passed the 13,000-mark for ceramic plates sold out of our state-of-the-art operations facility.
Spartan Armor’s 13,000 Ceramic Body Armor Sales
From our humble beginnings in a southeast Tucson garage, we have steadily grown into one of the leading body armor manufacturers in the world. As much as we believe in our product, process, and people, we never dreamed we would reach 13,000 Level IV sales in under a decade.
Spartan Armor achieved this milestone in far less time than it takes most suppliers. We say that humbly because we owe it all to you, the customer. You have spoken loudly by freely choosing to order from us and, in many cases, repeatedly.
There are three other reasons we have been able to hit our ceramic body armor sales milestone so quickly. Those reasons are:
-
Matchless Quality Control
-
American-Made Products
-
Dependable Employees
The Unparalleled Quality of Spartan Armor’s Ceramic Body Armor
Throughout the civil unrest of 2020-2021, we navigated through the troubled waters to meet the increased demand while addressing operational challenges. Consumers rewarded our work by choosing us as their preferred body armor provider. We saw record sales during that period and chose to invest in expanding our Tucson operations facility.
Our quality control has only improved since then because we now have even more operational oversight of the end-to-end process. Our extra storage space has allowed us to operate seven times faster without sacrificing quality. Taking control of our local supply chain means we can monitor quality control throughout the process.
We have even built our own on-site testing range that we plan to unveil soon.
The result has been the best ceramic plates made in America:
Hercules Level IV Ceramic Body Armor
This Advanced Compound Curve body armor plate features 10”x 12” full edge-to-edge protection and weighs 6.9 pounds per plate.
Hercules Lite Level III+ Ceramic Composite Body Armor
This is a ceramic/composite plate, 9.5” x 12.5”, able to stop M80 and M855, and weighing only 5 pounds per plate.
Hercules Xtreme Level IV Ceramic Body Armor
Multi-hit rated boron carbide strike face featuring full 9.5”x12.5” edge-to-edge protection that defeats .30-06 M2 AP (Armor Piercing) ammunition and weighs just 6.1 pounds per plate.

The Importance of Choosing American-Made Ceramic Body Armor
Another thing our national population learned in 2020-2021 was the importance of American-made body armor and American-made products in general. Our products at Spartan Armor are all made in the USA and made with USA labor and materials.
US-manufactured body armor is:
-
far more likely to still be available during economic disruptions
-
much easier to monitor for imperfections and counterfeit materials
-
supportive of American jobs and a healthy economy.
Our amazing team makes our domestically produced ceramic plates all in-house.
