Rounded Gear
About Rounded Gear
Rounded Gear began as Concealment Express in August 2014, starting as a garage startup in CEO Benedict Jimenez's Jacksonville home.
The company was founded by Benedict "Ben" Jimenez, Pablo Conde, Sang Cho, and Eun Cho after they identified a significant gap in the gun accessory market for affordable, mass-market KYDEX holsters.
From filling 50-60 orders daily in an 8-by-10-foot shed, the company has grown to operate a 7,500-square-foot manufacturing facility with 52 employees and approximately $5.7 million in revenue.
Today, Rounded Gear serves 1,400 independent stores and 400 big-box retailers including Academy Sports, Sportsman's Warehouse, and Scheels, while also holding government contracts with federal agencies.
The company has positioned itself as "the first ever lifestyle brand for real gun owners," serving today's dynamic gun owners with 100% Made in USA KYDEX holsters manufactured in Jacksonville, Florida.
