What Faraday Defense does

Faraday Defense Corp is a U.S.-based, SAM-certified specialty manufacturer founded in 2014 that designs and produces electromagnetic shielding products built on proprietary conductive textile formulations (copper, nickel/copper, silver, and barrier materials). The company holds CAGE Code 81YQ5 and UEI NXKLLN685LE5, enabling participation in federal contracting, and its products are tested against standards including MIL STD-461, MIL STD-188-125, ICD 705 (SCIF), IEEE 299-2006, TEMPEST, ASTM D4935, and Berry Amendment compliance. Its catalog spans a remarkably wide price-and-complexity range — from consumer-grade Faraday bags (NEST-Z, NX3, JACKET, DRY, UTILITY series) and RFID-blocking wallets, through forensic power lockers and Mini-Labs, up to industrial NEXUS/VECTOR/QUANTUM EMC chambers, containerized SCIFs, Faraday vaults, tent and hardwall enclosures, EMP protection electronics (DEFCON, T.R.A.P., ferrites), and an AI server protection line. Primary customer segments are digital forensics, government and military, medical, aerospace, and private enterprises, with secondary consumer/SMB exposure.

The company operates a dual go-to-market motion: a self-serve e-commerce storefront at shop.faradaydefense.com with unit pricing, free shipping over $250, and a custom quote builder for bags, chambers, SCIFs, tents, and fabrics, alongside a dedicated enterprise/government field sales channel accessed via phone and government sales portal. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of catalog products and quote-based custom engineering and build services for specialized enclosures and chamber installations. Distribution is supplemented by a global distributor network for mid-market buyers. Marketing relies on content (blog/FAQs), email newsletters, and direct sales outreach. Faraday Defense is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors identified, no headcount data, and no publicly disclosed revenue figure.
