The focus on quality is what separates Bluewater Defense from others in the industry. The 500+ men and women in Bluewater Defense are as dedicated as our servicemen and women and understand that “every stitch and fold” in every garment is a link in the crucial effort to protect the lives of those who protect us. Quality goes well beyond ourISO 9001:2015 certification and is inherent throughout the organization – starting with the CEO and cascading down to the shop floor.
“Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about”, Marcus Aurelius, The Emperor’s Handbook (VII.3)
