Established in March 2004 as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, Survival Innovations, began as a three-person operation in Western North Carolina with a focus on supporting the military with life-saving, protective equipment.
The company continues to expand its employee base as well as having increased manufacturing space to 20,000 sq. ft. in two locations.
Our expertise allows us the unique opportunity to offer a wide variety of products and services to meet the needs of customers in both the military and commercial sectors. We have a design team that can bring a design conception to testing or prototyping to production.
Good communication is providing accurate information in a timely manner to the proper recipient in the required format.

As a small business, we are able to maintain a low level of intermediate management, which accounts for a lot of our quick response time to our Customers and Supplier base.
Our Customers and Suppliers give us frequent kudos for our responsiveness and attention to detail.
