The Requirements Group

What The Requirements Group does

The Requirements Group (TRG) is a Canadian-founded, veteran-owned tactical and defense contractor established in 2010 and headquartered in Bowmanville, Ontario. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes professional tactical equipment under the Shadow Tactical Gear brand, operating its own factory in Canada where products are field-tested by law enforcement agents and military operators before release. Its portfolio spans more than 3,000 SKUs covering uniforms, operational kit, load-bearing equipment, and rigging components, alongside custom camouflage patterns and mission-specific kit configurations.

The company monetizes through four revenue streams: hardware sales of Shadow Tactical Gear, government and agency contract procurement (leveraging NATO Cage code H2L72 and required licenses), tactical training delivered by accredited instructors to agency and civilian teams, and Film & TV production design and consulting services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to military and law enforcement agencies, a global network of hundreds of authorized physical and online dealers, and direct-to-consumer e-commerce via shadow-gear.com.

TRG serves primary segments in military, special forces, peacekeepers, and law enforcement, and secondary segments spanning private security, airsoft, hunting, outdoor apparel, film/TV/photography, journalism, and search & rescue. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and operates offices and distribution centers in Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, and Pakistan.
