About Cole-TAC
We founded Cole-TAC in 2015 as a part-time hobby with a single sewing machine in our spare bedroom. Starting with a unique design of quality suppressor covers, our company quickly outgrew that single machine.
We have greatly expanded production and currently operate a high-tech facility in Rapid City, South Dakota that includes a retail space, 25 employees, over 90 industrial sewing machines, laser cutters, and a CNC fabric cutting machine.
Cole-TAC manufactures a wide range of specialty gear designed for long-range shooting, hunting, and other tactical applications. With a focus on unique designs and cutting-edge manufacturing processes, we create tough, durable, and innovative gear for both civilian and professional markets.
Our team includes mechanical engineers, hunters, and shooting enthusiasts who carefully design and thoroughly test our outdoor gear. Cole-TAC believes in creating American jobs, using American materials, and manufacturing American products. We live by those goals in all we do.
Cole-TAC proudly produces high volumes of complex products, all backed by our unbeatable lifetime warranty, while still focusing on meeting individual customer needs. After all, our loyal customers demand and expect exceptional gear that lasts longer, enhances performance, and exceeds expectations. We pride ourselves in supporting our customers, no matter where their mission takes them.
