About Us
We are Black Aces Tactical
Black Aces Tactical® is one of America’s leading small firearms manufacturers and importers. Located since inception in Longwood, Florida, we have seen several owners over the last dozen years. While our past has been less than stellar, or often not consumer friendly, we are pleased to now have a “rock-solid,” highly experienced business owner at the helm.
Black Aces Tactical® remains privately held and is professionally managed by our new CEO/Owner, an internationally known business executive. His executive team is diversly experienced. We are minority / veteran owned and managed small business, with a 100% Latin-American and Native American management team, which includes both men and women, in the Vice President positions.
All of us at Black Aces Tactical® enjoy the positive benefit of our highly successful business owner. Fabian Berru, our CEO, surrounds himself with, and listens to, his diversly experienced executive managers, his outside sales team, and each staff member. From our different heritages and diverse backgrounds, we recognize and appreciate the essential freedoms available to Americans, and the requirement that citizens remain steadfast in the support of our Constitution, and the protected freedoms earned by our founding fathers long ago, together with the military veterans, first responders and citizens who have put their lives on the line to protect our freedom and our way of life.
As a Company, believe in uncompromising ethics. We believe in the American free enterprise system. We believe in the second amendment’s universal protection of citizens’ rights. We support the value of work, and we support the right of Americans to prosper from their individual work, risk of their capital, and their daily efforts to prosper.
We strive to be a positive, constructive force, both in building better local communities and in supporting local businesses. We always endeavor to hire and promote the best qualified, most suitably skilled, and highly motivated employees, without prejudice. We do offer preference to our heroic veterans and brave former first responders. Our support will never fail for supporting the independent businesses that help make up our industry.
Our dealers and consumers expect and deserve the best customer service, the highest quality products, and the best after-sale support. Our commitment is to deliver it every day!
So who's behind all this? You.
