3. armor international
Armor international was the first
company to be established in
Colombia, and has been in
operation since 1981.
Back in the 80's armored used
to be very heavy as it was made
of steel or thick layers of ballistic
fiberglass.
The windows were 40 millimeters
thick and would not roll down. These armors were designed to protect from small
weapons such as the 9 mm semi-automatic and Magnum .357.
During the decades of the 80s and 90s we developed many different product lines
including armored vehicles, vests, aircrafts armor.
We were manufacturing Runflats, bulletproof glass
many of the accessories required for an armored
vehicle. We also began our export division which
was a little different back then as we had to export
some of the materials and ballistic glass, but it
was assembled by our own technicians in Mexico .
With the trials and challenges of pioneering new
business in a foreign country the company strived to produce the best armor ever
made.
It was a challenging task, as the criteria included for it to be lighter, preformed to the
shapes of the vehicle, easy to install and safer than a standard armor. Along with this
we anticipated exporting a kit that
could be assembled in other
countries without sacrificing our
quality standards.
Many prototypes were made, but in
the end, a new technology using the
knowledge of divisions we came up
with the 3D shield.

4. Nowadays we are exporting the 3D shield
kits to 15 different countries around the
world.Crime indexes are rising around
the world and numbers are increasing
after the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Good people are looking for new ways
to protect themselves. Armored vehicles
are becoming more popular everyday as
they offer a safe and discrete way of
transportation.
A 3D-Shield armor weights about the same as three persons and the 19mm ultralight
glass go unnoticed among other vehicles.
TGT has been promoting Armor International´s products with new targets, like
specialty workshops, and the hobbyist that enjoys vehicles off road vehicles.
Not all applications are for high-risk
personalities. For example, driving
into the desert or spending a day in
the Woods can be one of the most
amazing adventures for an off
roader, but getting a flat tire in the
middle of nowhere can also be a very
frustrating experience. We have developed a product called Rolling Armor which is
basically a runflat or a bulletproof wheel inside the tire, designed to get you out of an
emergency while driving with one or more flat tires and they are available to armor
companies, law departments and most civilians through TGT.
We are always looking for ways to make the world a safer place. In case you need a
safe means of transportation check our new distributor in the Middle East.

6. Bullet is proud to announce our partnership
with TGT, in which we will be providing high quality and reliable custom 4×4
supercharger solutions for their various applications around the globe.
Founded more than 20 years ago manufacturing kit
cars, Bullet quickly grew into Australia’s first low
volume car company to achieve full, ADR compliancy
for the Bullet Roadster and Roadster SS.
Thanks to the rigorous R&D and the knowledge
gained from designing supercharger setups for the
Roadsters we had enquiries flooding in requesting
supercharger kits to suit various makes and models
and a variety of uses.
This is when Bullet Performance Products was founded to focus on designing, testing
and manufacturing bespoke supercharger kits that were simply not available
anywhere else in the world.
Bullet is now the leading supercharger specialist in the southern hemisphere offering
more locally designed kits utilising Positive Displacement, Screw and Centrifugal
Superchargers than any other company.
The supercharger kit we are currently
focussed on building for TGT is to suit the
4.0L 1GR-FE V6 engine.
This platform will be intended to liberate
incredible power and torque in the ever
popular Land Cruiser 76, 78 and 79models,
the FJ Cruiser along with the 200 Series V6.
Our priorities continue to be focussed on the reliability of our supercharger kits in
even the harshest conditions through years of rigorous testing to produce
phenomenal power and torque and an OEM fit and finish.
Added to this is our unique ability to also offer robust custom tuning solutions for
every one of our kits, worldwide.
We look forward to our continuing relationship with TGT and the exciting work
to come!
