Eagle Industries Revenue and Competitors

Eagle Industries is the world leader in manufacturing tactical nylon products for the military and law enforcement community. Eagle has evolved over the years and gone through a vast number of changes. One thing that will never change however, is our dedication to producing the highest quality, tactical nylon goods available with "Quality By Design" as our guiding principle while listening to our customer's needs. Through more than 30 years of production we have grown dramatically in size and added over 5,000 high quality items to our product line. Although Eagle didn't incorporate until 1982, production of quality nylon goods started in 1974 when John Carver and his mother, Lorene Pyles, started sewing products in her basement. The company at that time was known as Scott-John and had one goal in mind - to produce top quality nylon products available at a fair price. The original product line was intended for motorcycle racing and included fanny packs, assorted bags, motor cross pants, and various packs. As a testament to the quality of the goods, some Scott-John bags can still be seen thrown over shoulders at trade shows today. In 1976 Scott-John moved to a 4,000 Square Foot facility in Webster Groves, Mo. and started producing some nylon tactical pieces and SCUBA items along with it's motor cross line of products. The company noticed the lack of quality tactical gear available to the military and law enforcement and in 1982 Scott-John incorporated to Eagle Industries. After incorporating, Eagle redirected its product line to military and law enforcement items. The initial handful of employees focused on making rifle cases, holsters, bags, and packs. A couple of Eagle's original groundbreaking products were the A-III-P (3-day assault pack) and the SAS-MKIII (drop leg holster). These items have undergone major upgrades and renovations, but they still remain staples of a current product line which also includes insertion extraction harnesses, tactical vests, holsters, bags, packs, and duty gear. As Eagle's reputation and the demand for quality law enforcement and military products grew, so did the need for expansion. In 1989 Eagle moved from Webster Groves to a new, larger production space in Fenton, Missouri. With more space and production on the rise, Eagle continued focusing on ways to improve and technology was the answer. In 1992 Eagle added CAD (Computer Aided Design) to the mix, forever changing the design process. In 1996 Eagle started developing it's own in-house manufacturing database to track production efficiency and help move product through the factory quicker. In 1997 Eagle purchased it's first computerized fabric cutting machine. Since then Eagle has aggressively continued using technology to improve operations and progress as a company. By 2004 Eagle Industries had grown and was operating out of a number of different buildings. Once again, the need for expansion arose and Eagle made the decision to move its operations back under one roof at a much larger facility also located in Fenton MO. Through quality and customer loyalty, Eagle emerged and remains the world leader in tactical nylon gear. Though the current version looks much different than it did over 20 years ago the original principles remain, "To continually offer great products at a fair price to the men and women who truly need them".
