Strengthening ballistic protection
SAFECO® Industries has quickly become a leader in ballistic protection for vehicles, offering solutions that meet the demands of high-risk environments. Since changing focus to ballistic textiles in 2015, SAFECO® has forged a strong partnership with Teijin Aramid. Our advanced materials, particularly Twaron®, have played a key role in improving the safety, durability, and performance of their products.
This collaboration allows SAFECO® to offer innovative armor solutions that ensure high-level protection, backed by our technical expertise.
A partnership built on shared values
Our collaboration is rooted in a shared goal: delivering reliable, high-performance ballistic solutions. SAFECO®’s journey to differentiate itself in the armored vehicle market was made possible by leveraging the advanced properties of Twaron®. Arturo Aguilar, CEO of SAFECO®, reflects, “We needed to offer more than just standard protection. With Twaron®, we could give our clients a solution that exceeds expectations.”
SAFECO® focuses exclusively on Twaron® for its unmatched strength and energy absorption properties. This material has enabled SAFECO® to build products that perform reliably in the most demanding conditions.
“We deliver top-quality solutions, and Teijin Aramid’s Twaron® ensures we can continue to meet the highest standards.”

Elevating ballistic performance with Twaron®
Our Twaron® fiber offers exceptional benefits for ballistic protection. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, Twaron® provides high resistance to impact and heat, making it ideal for use in SAFECO®’s products for armored vehicles. SAFECO® solutions, which use Twaron® as a key component in ballistic panels, are designed to protect against modern threats, including high-caliber rounds, while maintaining the performance of the vehicle.
These panels, developed in collaboration with us, not only meet industry standards but often exceed them in terms of durability and multi-hit capability.
“The performance we see in real-world testing is what sets us apart. When clients experience the difference firsthand, they understand the full value of our products.”

Collaboration drives innovation
Our partnership with SAFECO® goes beyond material supply. It’s a continuous process of collaboration in research and development. This close relationship allows SAFECO® to innovate faster, testing and refining solutions to ensure they meet the specific needs of their clients. Aguilar explains, “We work closely with Teijin Aramid’s team to tailor our materials to meet client specifications. This level of collaboration ensures that we’re always delivering more than just what’s expected – it allows us to create truly customized solutions.”
This joint effort has resulted in products that not only deliver superior protection but are also adaptable to a wide range of vehicle types and operational requirements. Together, we focus on innovation to ensure that our solutions stay ahead of industry trends.
