Powertac History
Powertac began with the idea of changing the portable lighting industry forever. In 2006, our founder realized that there was a lack of focus in the industry to integrate modern flashlight technology with the necessary features and design elements that make a truly tactical lighting device. He felt the current products, technology, and quality was outdated and didn’t meet consumer expectations. Since his vision was to create the highest quality portable lighting devices that incorporated “powerful” and “tactical” features, the name “Powertac” was born.
The original headquarters was established in Raleigh North Carolina while our manufacturing facility was built in Shen Zhen China because it is the “small electronics capital of the world.” The supply-chain infrastructure combined with the world’s largest concentration of electrical engineers gives the city of Shen Zhen what economists call an “absolute advantage.” These advantages enabled us to offer our products to our customers at a more affordable price while maintaining consistent high quality manufacturing standards. We are different from the typical American company that manufactures in China because we don’t hire a factory to “white/ private label” our products. We own our factory so that we can control and maintain our high standards of quality. Our manufacturing employees in China and our office staff in the US are all treated fairly and taken care of like part of our family. All of our designs were developed from the expert advice of police officers, military personnel, extreme outdoorsmen, hunters, and everyday carry enthusiasts. We will never be “just a flashlight company.” Everything we do and every design feature is purpose driven to create a tool that will help a professional perform their job better, easier and maybe even safeguard their life.
