Hoplite Armor, a Kalispell company, has grown its sales by nearly eightfold since it launched in 2015

Hoplite Armor

When Lyman Bishop launched Hoplite Armor in 2015, he had a few investors to help him fund ceramic shoulder plates for both the military and civilians, making roughly $500,000 in annual gross sales in his first year.

Fast forward to 2021 and he now has a business partner and chief operating officer, Hunter Coppock, and two other full-time employees. He has expanded Hoplite’s product line to add femoral plates, armor carriers and more, bringing in $4 million in gross sales in 2020 alone.

“We started in 2015 but we didn’t gain traction until later in the year,” Bishop said. “There’s been a lot of ramping up.”
