About Our Team

Built by Veterans. Trusted by Patriots.

Krate Tactical was founded in 2017 when Marine veteran John Fleitz bought a single steel target for his own range practice. Seeing room for improvement, he and his business partner set out to create something better—not just in targets, but in tactical gear for the 2A community. That vision became Krate Tactical.

Our Mission: Serve, Supply, Support

We’re more than just a tactical gear company—we’re a team of veterans, shooters, and freedom-loving Americans dedicated to providing gear you can trust. With backgrounds in military service, we understand the value of reliability and precision, and we bring that same commitment to every product we create. That is our promise and our mission: To serve, supply, and support the freedom-loving community that drives us.

An Industry In Need of Drive, Expertise, & Relentless Commitment to Excellence

Before Krate Tactical, finding high-quality tactical gear was a challenge. Too many products on the market lacked durability, reliability, and craftsmanship—issues that simply weren’t acceptable for those who depend on their gear. We knew we could do better.

We Build Gear That Exceeds Expectations

With our military experience and dedication to excellence, we built Krate Tactical on the principles of quality, durability, and trust. We started with steel targets, sourcing AR500 steel from a trusted Georgia-based manufacturer. As we grew, so did our product line, expanding into chest rigs, trauma kits, OTF knives, and more—each designed with the same high standards that we demand for ourselves.
