About Texas Armoring Corporation: Protection. Performance. Prestige.

In the early 1970s, Trent Kimball’s father had a dream. While working for the U.S. Government as a special agent and living in Latin America, he learned firsthand how armored vehicles can save lives and disarm would be terrorists, criminals, and kidnappers.

In short, his dream was to bring premium armored vehicles to the world’s elite and protect families across the globe—four decades and thousands of vehicles later, that dream has transformed into reality and lives on through his son.

Today, President and CEO Trent Kimball leads Texas Armoring Corporation and the company stands proudly as the market leader for manufacturing quality, lightweight armored cars, trucks, SUVs, and other specialty vehicles.

Our Purpose

Trent Kimball said it best: “Life is valuable—protect it.” As a company, that’s a slogan that each employee takes to heart—from our front office, to our welding and trim shops, protecting life is a concept that our entire staff embraces. It’s the primary reason we exist, and our purpose is to protect people throughout the world by supplying quality lightweight armored vehicles. Second, our purpose is to create value for our clients, owners, employees, and community. Third, we strive to lead our industry through product innovation, unparalleled protection, quality finishing, and superior customer service.

Our Vision

Looking forward, our goal is quite simply to improve. We don’t believe that being the best is good enough, and we’re not satisfied with the status quo of a maturing industry. In the coming years, we will continue to analyze and refine each and every one of our business and manufacturing processes to add more value for our clients. We will strive to be a productive, profitable, and lean organization. Additionally, our vision, like many companies, is to expand and grow sustainably. We will enter new markets, expand our production facilities, offer new products, and continue to increase our client base through consistently delivering superior products.
