HESCO Group

The HESCO Group, or as many will call it, Hesco, are a defence corporation manufacturing body armour, prefabricated earthworks, and more. They first became famous for their invention of the Hesco barrier, a defensive emplacement that was filled with dirt onsite to form a tough and sturdy wall fairly quickly. In the modern day, it is now used by many militaries for FOBs and other purposes.

Armor Catalogue
Hesco manufactures a wide variety of plates. Some of these, such as the Hesco 4401, are bread-and-butter workhorses, while others such as the Hesco 4520 are exotic and highly-capable models exclusive to elite forces. While they do not manufacture any soft armor, Hesco plays a prominent role in all sectors of the plate industry - civilian, LE, and military sectors alike.The following section will separate their public and more...
