ZRODelta Announces Partnership with Victrix Armaments and ROME

Wednesday, April 15th, 2020

Rutherford College, NC – ZRODelta is excited and proud to announce that it has been selected by Victrix Armaments and ROME, members of Rottigni Officina Meccanica SRL, of Bergamo, Italy, to serve as exclusive distributor of Professional and Sporting products for all commercial applications in the United States.

Victrix Armaments is a prestigious Italian manufacturer of iconic bolt-action rifles, and manufactures elite weapon systems for many of the world’s most highly-decorated Special Operations Forces. After a brief period among the Beretta brands, Rottigni Officina Meccanica repurchased the brand Victrix Armaments, and is excited to begin its own journey in the United States with ZRODelta. And while Victrix rifles are perfectly suited for military and tactical applications, Victrix’s new Professional line of rifles is now available to American consumers. The Professional line consists of the all-new Pugio (caliber 308), Gladio (caliber family 308/260/6.5), Scorpio (caliber family 300 & 338), Tormento (caliber family 375 & 408), and Corvo (caliber 50). Victrix has also bolted onto the Sporting Competition market with the 2020 introduction of the Target & Target Blackbelt (F-TR), Absolute (F-Open), Performance and Challenge (NRL & PRS), and the Crown and Throne (King of 2 Miles). The ROME line of accessories includes optics mounts and rings, bipods, suppressors, chassis, and other must-have rifle accessories.

ZRODelta, primarily known for its OEM parts production service to the firearms industry, also manufactures its own line of Modulus® Modular Pistols, Ready Series™ line of MSRs, and Venator™ precision rifles—the only semi-automatic rifles in the world with a ½ MOA guarantee. It’s the intersection of artistry, attention to detail, and advanced manufacturing in these products that first caught the eye of Victrix founder and chief executive Giuseppe Valtorta. “When I picked up the ZRODelta Venator, it could have been a Victrix product. I knew at that point that the people behind ZRODelta were different, and would be able to deliver and support our products to those in the United States who value the same qualities we value.”

“Our partnership with Victrix will begin a new era for ZRODelta,” said ZRODelta President John Birk. “Just as we build the most accurate semi-automatic platforms in the world, Victrix builds the finest bolt action rifles in the world—period. Giuseppe and I pour our hearts into what we do every day and breathe life into our products for the benefit of our customers and end-users, and we are incredibly excited to bring the new Victrix brand to America for everyone to enjoy.”

The partnership brings streamlined pricing to the United States, designed to make consumer decisions clear when compared to the competition. Additionally, access to Victrix rifles and accessories aren’t the only thing that Americans are going to get to appreciate. In time, the partnership between the companies will develop into Victrix USA and yield the introduction of more exciting products and technologies, jointly developed and manufactured between the companies. Stay tuned for what’s to come.

Arc’teryx Shifts Focus from the Outside in, Brand to Apply Expertise to Make Protective Gowns for Healthcare Workers

Wednesday, April 15th, 2020

Global design company responds to COVID-19 outbreak by manufacturing 90,000 medical gowns for provincial health authorities in partnership with B.C. Apparel and Gear Association members.

(Global) NORTH VANCOUVER, Canada, April 14, 2020 – Arc’teryx Equipment is applying design to solve the medical gown shortage in the brand’s home province of British Columbia. In collaboration with key industry partners, the outdoor apparel company has prototyped and developed a medical gown for frontline healthcare workers. The pattern, design and technical specifications of the medical gown can now be accessed by manufacturers worldwide through the B.C. Apparel and Gear website.

Five hundred of these medical gowns were delivered to hospitals last week, and the brand is expected to manufacture 30,000 medical gowns in the weeks ahead. Between Arc’teryx and local manufacturing partners Mustang Survival and Boardroom Clothing, a total of 90,000 medical gowns will be delivered to community hospitals.

The call for medical gowns came directly from the local healthcare community by way of the B.C. Apparel and Gear Association, of which Arc’teryx is a member. Working alongside manufacturing partners and with the guidance of health authorities, a design was created, prototyped and tested. Within two weeks a team of Arc’teryx sewers, engineers, sample and pattern makers gathered at the ARC’One facility in New Westminster, B.C. to fulfill the first production order of 500 medical gowns.

“The world around us has shifted, and we knew that we needed to help protect our frontline healthcare workers,” said Shirley Chan, Senior Director of Product Commercialization and Quality. “There wasn’t much we could do on the medical front lines, but as apparel designers and manufacturers, we could turn our expertise to support the medical community in this fight. Creating the right gear is something we know how to do, and by making the pattern open source, we hope others with manufacturing capabilities can bring more protective equipment to those communities in need.”

The team manufacturing these medical gowns have been adhering to strict health and safety protocols at the ARC’One facility. Workstations are arranged to comply with social distancing practices, and all employees are wearing masks and gloves while working. Before the medical gowns are distributed to healthcare workers, they will be washed and sanitized by K-Bro Linen Systems, a laundry and linen service for hospitals and healthcare providers across Canada.

As part of a federal initiative to establish and secure new supply chains to produce personal protective equipment for Canadian healthcare workers, Arc’teryx is currently focused on producing medical gowns for healthcare workers in British Columbia. However, the brand will continue to consider requests from other provincial, federal, and international health authorities.

Hygiene Machine Gun (EDC Door Opener & Stylus)

Tuesday, April 14th, 2020

The world is changing and we have to start adapting to a new, more germ-conscious way of living. The Hygiene Machine Gun is to help decrease the spreading of germs while performing some of your everyday tasks.

Literally a week and a half ago in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak. I went to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription and was asked to use their stylus to sign for the purchase. When I pointed out to the pharmacist that the stylus must be full of germs from all the people picking up prescriptions before me they said they are out of hand sanitizer so I should just wash my hands when I get home.

As the days went by and the COVID-19 spread I became more and more aware how many times I have to touch things that must be full of germs.. elevator buttons, buttons to pay by credit card at stores and gas pumps and of course pulling open doors to public bathrooms.

As the world has been gripped by COVID-19, we wanted to use our design and manufacturing ability to come out with a solution to help slow the spread of the COVID-19. Our world is EDC and being prepared is a core component. We are proud to do our part in this pandemic by doing what we do best – designing EDC tools that have real world utility.

Nite Ize, a Boulder, Colo. based company that designs and manufactures inventor-driven products, has supplied critical materials to the overall mask building program.

The 3D nose piece is also an enormous step forward in long-term comfort.”

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with Mystery Ranch to provide much needed mask making supplies. The spirit of innovation is strong in the mask making community and we’re excited that Gear Ties & BetterBands can play a pivotal part in the effort to keep people safe.” Rick Case, Nite Ize CEO + Founder

The SureFire XC2-IRC

Monday, April 13th, 2020

Fountain Valley, CA—SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, wants to shed some light on the XC2-A-IRC. Before we get in to it, you should know this product probably isn’t for you. This product was designed for a specific end-user who had a requirement for an ultra compact infrared (IR) light & IR aiming laser combination. As such, the XC2-A-IRC is SureFire’s smallest, lightest dedicated IR light and laser combination. Its recoil-proof LED is focused by a multi-faceted reflector to create a broad, 850-nanometer infrared MaxVision Beam® that’s perfect for enhancing the capability and image quality of modern night vision goggles (NVGs). Its 845-nanometer infrared laser stands out when viewed with NVGs and, once zeroed, rarely needs re-zeroing thanks to adjustment screws that stand up to the effects of recoil. It can be powered by a AAA lithium, NiMH or alkaline battery, and its ambidextrous switching provides both momentary- and constant-on activation for ultimate controllability. Ultracompact, lightweight and rugged, the XC2-A-IRC is built to rule the night.
