“We are very pleased to enter into this partnership with TA Associates,” said Dan Costa, CEO of 5.11 Tactical. “TA has an enviable record of helping profitable companies accelerate growth, and we will leverage their proven industry and investment expertise to continue seeking new growth opportunities.”
“While most public safety apparel and gear manufacturers have traditionally focused on one or a small number of product verticals, 5.11 Tactical has built a product line that we believe is unmatched in its breadth,” said Jon E. Kossow, a Principal at TA Associates who will also join the company's Board of Directors.
“As the only broad-line designer and distributor of law enforcement gear and apparel, 5.11 Tactical is highly regarded in the law enforcement market. With this loyal customer base and a quality product, the company is well-positioned to continue its growth.”
