What Larimart does

Larimart S.p.A. is a Rome-headquartered, privately held Italian defense electronics and personal protection manufacturer, founded on 17 November 1960 and operating today as a controlled subsidiary of Leonardo S.p.A. in synergy with Leonardo Divisione Elettronica. The company designs, manufactures, and supports through full operational lifecycle two product families for the Defence, Security, and Emergency markets: (1) ruggedized electronic systems — the UIS-379/D digital intercom family, IPCOMMS integrated communications management, Larimart Call Manager VoIP software, LRT-350 III and LRT-550 vehicular computers, LRT-451/D10 and D12 NGVA smart displays, the LRT-360/361/362 naval VoIP terminals, the ITI Intra Team Intercom, the H-149-SDR headset, the CI9/89-EVO tank helmet, the CBMI-SDR-EVO battery charger, and the ITA-HUB soldier equipment hub; and (2) personal protection — ballistic bulletproof vests (Giubbetti Antiproiettile) and CBRN protective garments and masks. Products are engineered to MIL-STD-810 (F/G/H) environmental and MIL-STD-461 (E/F/G) EMI/EMC specifications, with additional compliance under AQAP2210 (software), STANAG 2338, NATO-IRR, TEMPEST SDIP-27 Level A, and EUROCAE ED-137.

The company makes money primarily through direct B2B sales to Italian government defense customers (Italian Ministry of Defence, Italian Navy, Italian Armed Forces) via long-cycle competitive tenders, with revenue concentrated in three streams: defense electronics and communication systems, personal protection equipment, and lifecycle system integration and support services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined through government procurement; a smaller secondary push targets EMEA defense markets through international trade-show presence (Enforce Tac, Seafuture, Eurosatory, European Defence Innovation Days) and Leonardo Group distribution channels.

Larimart has approximately 51–100 employees and was described in Italian industry coverage as a PMI (small-medium enterprise) integrated within the Leonardo Group, combining SME agility with the industrial capability of a global defense conglomerate. The firm has recently executed its first disclosed acquisition (Rebel Alliance, 30 June 2026) and is actively recruiting engineers and graduates, suggesting measured expansion rather than rapid scaling.
