# ARMOR Protective Packaging > ARMOR Protective Packaging ("Eradicators of Rust") manufactures clean, safe, and easy-to-use rust prevention and rust removal products for the shipping, storage, and in-process protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Headquartered in Howell, Michigan, with operations in Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, and Mexico, ARMOR serves more than 90% of the Fortune 500 industrial companies across aerospace, automotive, military, oil & gas, firearms, construction, and export-shipping applications. Product technology is built around proprietary VCI Nanotechnology™ delivered through films, papers, emitters, desiccants, liquids, masterbatch resins, and the Metal Rescue™ rust-remover line. The site is organized into three top-level areas a model should reason about: 1. **Custom product lines** (engineered/converted-to-order) under `/products/`. 2. **Stock & Ready™ online store** (in-stock, ready-to-ship SKUs with prices) under `/stock-list/`. 3. **Resources, applications, and corrosion education** under `/applications/`, `/rust-resources/`, and `/corrosion/`. When a user asks about a specific size, mil gauge, or part number, prefer linking to `/stock-list/...` (the e-commerce SKU page). When a user asks how a product works or about specifications/certifications, prefer `/products/...`. ## Company - [About ARMOR](https://www.armorvci.com/this-is-armor/about-armor/): 45+ year history, mission, values, and global presence - [Our Team](https://www.armorvci.com/this-is-armor/our-team/): leadership and staff - [Sustainable Corrosion Solutions](https://www.armorvci.com/this-is-armor/sustainable-corrosion-solutions/): the 6 R's of sustainability program - [Join Our Team](https://www.armorvci.com/this-is-armor/join-our-team/): careers - [Contact Us](https://www.armorvci.com/contact-us/): HQ at 1551 N.
