TYSONS CORNER, Va. - Michimich -- One year after relocating its headquarters from Europe to the Washington D.C. area and changing its name to Integris Composites, the business founded 30 years ago returns tomorrow to AUSA 2024 with a global team of experts and product innovations to help protect warfighters in a period of unprecedented change and complexity.

Founded in 1994 as ARES, and later established as TenCate Advanced Armor until the name was changed last year, Integris Composites is exhibiting at AUSA, Oct. 14-16, in Booth 2407.

"We are displaying an expanding portfolio of ballistic, blast and spall limiting technology for land, sea and air operations. We're also inviting visitors to discuss emerging challenges with our experts from around the world," said David Cordova, chief commercial officer, Integris Composites, Inc. Engineers and armor designers from the global organization will be on hand to speak with guests.

Global Challenges & Multinational Resources

"In addition to personal protection and tactical vehicles, our team can share solutions being developed for watercraft and aircraft globally. We can also discuss the rapidly changing threats in combat," Cordova said.

"For example, we are all aware that militias spawned by terrorists are fielding low-cost explosives and drones that are creating unique challenges for Western allies," Cordova added.
