Hard Head Veterans Partners with LS Mtron to Revolutionize Helmet Manufacturing with State-of-the-Art Injection Molding Technology

Hard Head Veterans (HHV) and Kevy Safety, a veteran-owned manufacturer known for producing ballistic helmets for military and law enforcement, has announced a strategic partnership with LS Mtron.

This collaboration will bring cutting-edge injection molding technology to HHV’s manufacturing process, enabling the production of innovative helmets and accessories and paving the way for the upcoming release of an E-Class aramid fiber-infused safety helmet.

LS Mtron, a global leader in injection molding solutions, is providing HHV with a 420-ton injection molding machine that will create precision-engineered helmets, accessories and components. This builds upon the existing relationship, in which HHV already utilizes a 140-ton machine to churn out parts on a daily basis. Together, these state-of-the-art machines enable HHV to maintain high production standards and meet the growing demand for its premium helmets and accessories.

“Our continued partnership with LS Mtron is a game-changer for us,” said Dub Robertson, plant director for Hard Head Veterans. “We’re already seeing the benefits of their 140-ton machine, which has been delivering top-quality parts daily. The addition of the 420-ton machine will allow us to scale even further, producing helmets with unparalleled precision while maintaining our commitment to U.S. manufacturing.”

Partnership Highlights

- Dual injection molding machines: The 140-ton machine is already in use for daily production of helmet parts, and the newly added 420-ton machine will be used for the creation of tactical bump helmets and the upcoming E-Class aramid fiber-infused safety helmet.

- Precision engineering: LS Mtron’s advanced technology ensures that each helmet component meets HHV’s rigorous safety and quality standards.

- Commitment to U.S. manufacturing: By utilizing LS Mtron’s cutting-edge equipment, HHV reaffirms its pledge to bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and support domestic production.

“South Korea is a close ally of the United States, and LSMtron’s machines benefit from 0% import duties and no tariffs, making this partnership a significant win for U.S. manufacturing looking to acquire equipment,” Robertson noted.

The first phase of this collaboration will introduce an E-Class aramid fiber-infused safety helmet, combining the latest in helmet technology with the precision and durability of LS Mtron’s molding equipment.

HHV’s and Kevy Safety’s partnership with LS Mtron represents a shared commitment to producing top-tier products that will not only elevate safety standards but also support U.S. manufacturing jobs and innovation.
