Optimus Arms USA (OA), a division of Point One USA, has acquired Hexmag and Sentry Solutions. The firms will now operate as Hexmag USA and continue to manufacture Hexmag brand products and Sentry Solutions dry lubricants for the commercial, law enforcement and military markets.

“We have had a relationship with Point One for several years supplying sewn goods, and have seen their expansion with Optimus Arms USA,” said Terry Naughton, president of Sentry Products Group. “They have excellent reach across a much broader audience globally, including military, law enforcement and other government agencies, and I believe establishing Hexmag USA in this structure will provide the resources and relationships necessary to help grow the Hexmag product lines within the shooting, hunting and outdoor sporting segments.”

Point One USA is a defense contractor—headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA—within the special operations and law enforcement communities. It offers advanced training and extensive product lines to a growing list of government and defense agencies and has recently launched a commercial line of products through commercial OA division. It provides custom weapons for private and government customers as well as an entire line of firearm accessories.

“This partnership is an opportunity for Point One and one of our commercial divisions to expand the Hexmag brand within the commercial firearms industry, as well as expand our ability to provide the best possible products, training and equipment to the warfighter and law enforcement personnel who put their lives on the line daily to protect Americans and keep America safe,” said Bob Brush, founder and CEO of Point One and President of OA. “We will continue to grow the Hexmag product line and ensure the finest quality materials and workmanship persist across the Hexmag brands, just as we have for Point One and OA over the past decade. Point One and OA could not be prouder to welcome Hexmag into our family of products, equipment and services.”

Hexmag produces a full line of specialized magazines and grips for use in a variety of firearm platforms using a proprietary advanced composite (POLYHEX2) and an advanced carbon-fiber polymer. Sentry Products Group, which is also based in Virginia Beach, VA, acquired Hexmag in October 2017.
