Britain-Based Ultimate Defense Technologies Establishes Billings, Montana, Operations

10/04/2024
Britain-based Ultimate Defense Technologies, a weapons safety manufacturer, established its headquarters and production operations in Billings, Montana. The project is expected to create 90 jobs.

The 7,200-square-foot facility will produce the company’s weapon safety system and features 4,800 square feet of factory space.

“I started thinking about how we could make guns safer but instantly available in a time of need. And the number of injuries from misuse of firearms and instances of theft was concerning to us,” said Ultimate Defense Co-Founder Neil Oakshott. “Montana has invested in us, so we want to invest in Montana. We want to give people careers, and we want to work with people that are often overlooked in society like veterans and people with special needs.”

Ultimate Defense Technologies’ flagship product, The Spartan Guardian™, is a weapon safety system that establishes the new standard in safety, fail-safe rapid accessibility, and secure portability.

“Thanks to our pro-business, pro-jobs policies and proud Second Amendment heritage, businesses like Ultimate Defense Technologies are choosing to relocate to Montana,” noted Governor Greg Gianforte. “We’ll continue to recruit firearms and ammunitions businesses to the Treasure State to create more good-paying jobs.”
