Discover First Tactical, the brand of Dan Costa
Created in 2005 by its CEO Dan Costa, a leader in the tactical world for over 15 years, First Tactical strives to meet the security needs of professionals through innovative new ideas in textiles, footwear, and accessories. Mr. Costa partnered with his daughter Kelsie Costa, who is also the president of the company, designer Cory Nykoluk, and development and sourcing specialist Diane Gallagher to assemble a team with over 30 years of experience in this field. Together, the team strives to find the best strategies to promote products to security professionals.
"In the beginning, customers said 'Sit down and listen. We need your help and we want the products to be perfect,'" says Mr. Costa, recounting the birth of First Tactical. "It was a dream come true because when we made these products, they pleased the customers."
At First Tactical, our way of working is simple: we listen to our customers' needs, we work on our products with cutting-edge materials, we conduct field tests in the most challenging situations, and finally, we distribute high-quality products directly to our customers, without going through intermediaries who take large margins. By not using intermediaries, First Tactical can sell high-quality products while maintaining an affordable price. With representatives composed of former security professionals, our team works hand in hand to create the best possible products for our customers.
