These armored vehicles are used on a daily basis by clients around the world, and should not feel like you are driving a tank."
ARMORMAX® is the lightest weight armoring system in the world. The first version of ARMORMAX was developed by IAC in 1994. Today, ARMORMAX is the lightest opaque armor in the industry, yet it is ten times stronger than ballistic steel. Through various modifications over the years, the weight of ARMORMAX has been decreased by approximately 50 percent. To learn more about IAC, please visit: .
