NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Byrna Technologies Inc. (the “Company,” or “Byrna,”) is a less‑lethal defense technology company specializing in next generation solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets a portfolio of personal security devices, kinetic and chemical irritant projectiles, and related accessories for consumer, law enforcement, private security, and other institutional markets. Byrna personal security devices are less-lethal self-defense devices that are powered by CO2 and fire .61 and .68 caliber spherical kinetic and chemical irritant projectiles. The Company’s mission is to provide effective, easy‑to‑use, and reliable less‑lethal solutions that enable responsible self‑defense and de‑escalation. The Company sells its products through multiple channels including its e‑commerce website, Amazon storefronts, Company‑operated retail stores, domestic and international dealers and distributors, and direct sales to law enforcement agencies. The Company’s products are manufactured at its facilities in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Company previously operated a manufacturing facility in Pretoria, South Africa; these operations ceased during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and the related lease was not renewed. In March 2025, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary, Byrna Technologies Canada Inc., to support the distribution of Byrna products within the Canadian market. Byrna Canada does not conduct manufacturing activities and does not operate any owned or leased facilities; instead, it utilizes a third‑party logistics provider to fulfill customer orders placed through the Company’s Canadian e‑commerce platform.

 

The Company operates and reports its results through two reportable sales channels: Direct‑to‑Consumer(“DTC”) and Wholesale (dealer/distributors).
