President and CEO of Airborne Outfitters Jason B. Evatt, Lt. Col., United States Air Force (Ret) explains his company’s soldier-supporting technology during a recent ribbon cutting ceremony.
Findlay Hancock County Economic Development is happy to see the continued success of Airborne Outfitters, a company that, through assistance with a Jobs Ohio Inclusion Grant, hosted a ribbon cutting for a new lab in July.
“This is an incredible company doing important research and development for the U.S. Armed Forces,” said Dan Sheaffer, executive director of FHCED. “It was an honor to write a letter of support to contribute to their grant process and see the exciting work they are doing continued and expanded.”
Founded in 2016, Airborne Outfitters is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) dedicated to providing the U.S. Government and partner nations with a comprehensive range of products and services. The company focuses on innovation, problem-solving and customer satisfaction to deliver prompt and hard to source solutions to its defense, maritime, aerospace, and industrial-based clientele.
Airborne Outfitters’ mission is “Providing today’s warfighter with the gear and equipment to win tomorrow’s war,” and is operated by President and CEO Jason B. Evatt, Lt. Col., United States Air Force (Ret). Evatt spent 26 years in the Air Force and retired as an intelligence officer from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. During the ribbon cutting, Evatt unveiled an anechoic chamber – a room that provides a zero-noise environment to test technology – and showed visitors examples of soldier-supporting war technology being developed.
JobsOhio started the Inclusion Grant Program in 2020 to help existing Ohio businesses invest in and grow their operations.
