Our Team

We Are ARMOR

We can’t talk about great products and services without talking about the people behind them – those that walk the walk and proudly call themselves ARMOR. Without question they are the secret ingredient that separates us from the rest of the pack. From Michigan to Singapore, our goal is the same. We go the extra mile. We do it with a smile. We Take the Work Out of Your Workday. In doing so, we have a little less work ourselves, and more time for play!
