Manta Defense is a real people company, which is also reflected in the fact that Manta products are designed and tested by their own team. The manufacturer takes great pride in ensuring that it can offer only the highest quality and proven products.
Manta Defense facility is in the New Philadelphia, Ohio. All products used in the manufacturing and packaging of Manta products, including the raw materials and finished goods, are manufactured in the USA of which the manufacturer is exceptionally proud.
The manufacturer supplies a large number of innovations and unique products to the market. For example revolutionary Manta Micro Pocket design allows the internal routing and installation of accessory wires and switches, thus protecting them from fluctuating temperatures and external hazards. Manta accessories are formulated from proprietary materials that resist chemicals, abrasion, and extremely hot or cold temperatures. Superior adhesion is provided by stainless steel engagement technology.
Manta products not only increase the operational effectiveness of a weapon but also help protect operators from unsafe conditions. The company constantly evolving and creating new products based on customers' requirements. Manta customers appreciate mostly unique design and amazing material.
But the biggest advantage of the material is, that Manta has once again solved another issue inherent to most weapon platforms which is HEAT. The innovative technology behind the Manta material allowed to create a sleeve for the Browning M2 50-caliber machine gun barrel, as well as revolutionary Suppressor Covers. Both of these products were developed in response to a call from the operators to protect them from the extreme heat generated from sustained fire. The proprietary Manta material stands up to the most rigorous operational conditions, protecting operators and gear from temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees.
Manta Defense was established in 2009, back then it was known as MantaRails. Quite soon, the company began to compete with large manufacturers. In 2010 Manta introduced Micro Pocket Switch Holder, that allows a firearm operator to simply slide a pressure pad into the Micro Pocket and snap the Switch Holder on the rail in a matter of seconds. MantaRails was honored to begin supplying products to the United States Marine Corps.
The company realized that they have become more than just a gun rail accessory manufacturer as they were developing new products and that is why they changed company name to simply Manta Defense.
