Since he began providing training and duty ammunition to local police departments and constable’s offices, Eric Cowdrey, the owner of ArmTact Munitions, knew opening a location in East Montgomery County would be the most beneficial for his business.
Eric enlisted the help of the East Montgomery County Improvement District to find the perfect location in EMC to build a manufacturing warehouse, settling on a property in Porter, and launching their production in March 2020.
“Frank McCrady, President/CEO of EMCID, was a wealth of knowledge and was able to get us moved into a warehouse with some help of a grant and great people in EMC,” said Eric. Also, we have had a great relationship with the local police chiefs. I was approached about the need for our products in the area and I felt that EMC would be the perfect place to start new and grow, hiring local talent and supplying the needs of the departments.”
ArmTact Munitions is a Veteran-Owned Type 10 Ammunition Manufacturer that prides itself on quality and precise micro-manufacturing which means they care more about the end-product than the amount they could make per day. Currently, ArmTact is a manufacturing facility, but they hope to have a storefront open to the public in the future.
According to Eric, they have set a goal to be at full production by the middle of summer this year, expanding the ammo to all of EMC and surrounding counties.
“This will put us in a place to hire local talent and grow into large contracts,” said Eric. “We are excited to be in Porter and East Montgomery County. We are also excited to provide superior ammo to our local law enforcement as well as EMC and surrounding counties’ residents. I would like to thank the chiefs and EMCID for helping a Veteran-Owned small business feel welcomed and supported. We can’t wait to see our business succeed in EMC.”
