MVB INDUSTRIES, INC.
Incorporated in the state of Florida, in January 2000 by Stan Meacham and Gared Von Benecke, two veterans and evangelists of the manufacturing and firearms industries. Our initial vision was to manufacture and assemble USA made products to service the Titanium Jewelry and Firearms Industries. However over the years we have expanded into other niche markets such as the Marine Engine Parts, Tollgate Breakaway Arms for the Department of transportation, Medical tolls and devices and Rotary Race engine parts, among others.
Gared Von Beneke serves our President & CEO. A passionate firearms aficionado and enthusiast since his early age. He came to the USA with the passion of getting into the firearms industry.

After ASERMA, he was hired by Heritage Manufacturing, Inc. (Heritage) a highly recognized manufacturer of Revolvers as a Production Manager.
