The Story of SAVVY
When BAE Systems acquired the well-known Second Chance brand, executives immediately analyzed this company for its keys to success. One core strength that stood out amongst others was the ability to produce comfortable body armor for women. Now, BAE Systems has poured all of its design and manufacturing resources into SAVVY to accomplish its mission of providing the safest and most comfortable body armor for women.
Located in Central Lake, Michigan, SAVVY is the first and only all women body armor manufacturer in the world. Today, women are performing all types of law enforcement roles, leading an entirely new category of body armor – Armor For Women™. They are new cadets, experienced lieutenants and ranking chiefs. As the population of women law enforcement officers continues to grow, so will the SAVVY mission as we work to provide safe and comfortable solutions for their growing needs.
