The Story Behind Major Industries
Major Industries was born not from a boardroom but from a briefing room. Founded by a law enforcement professional with over 17 years of operational experience in both state and federal agencies, this Australian-owned business is driven by a single purpose: to serve those who serve.
Whether you're responding to a call-out at 3am, conducting a vehicle intercept on the Midland Highway, or gearing up for a surveillance job in metro Melbourne, your gear needs to work—no questions asked. At Major Industries, we supply that gear. Real-world tested. Law enforcement ready. Proudly Australian.
Law Enforcement Gear, Designed by Those Who Know
Australia's policing environment is unique. From legislative compliance to environmental extremes and urban-rural operational diversity, our officers face demands that off-the-shelf international products often ignore. That’s why Major Industries selects and supplies tactical gear specifically tailored for Australian police.
We don’t just sell what looks tactical—we source what works. Our range includes:
-
Williams Key: The original universal key tool, ideal for covert entry and breaching tasks in operational policing. Major Industries is the sole authorised Australian distributor for Williams Key, providing law enforcement professionals with direct access to this uniquely practical tool.
-
Visiblue Beanies: High-visibility winter beanies designed exclusively for police identification during roadside or outdoor duties. Major Industries is proud to be the sole authorised Australian distributor of Visiblue products, supplying the only beanie range engineered for operational recognition by police command.
-
Platatac MK9 Holsters: Premium holster systems specifically built for OC spray deployment, MOLLE-compatible and trusted by tactical teams.
-
Glove Straps and Pouches: Purpose-built accessories for quick-access glove storage—ideal for general duties and forensic personnel.
-
Zak Tool handcuff keys: including the ultra-reliable ZT-9P and full-size swivel models like the ZT-11X.
-
Police duty bags and organisers: modular, tough, and tailored for vehicle deployment.
-
High-lumen LED torches and lighting systems: suitable for general duties, highway patrol, and specialist units.
-
MOLLE-compatible safety and signal lighting: for perimeter control, traffic duties, and dynamic incident response.
We ship fast, stock locally, and support law enforcement across Tasmania, Victoria, NSW, and beyond.
Built for the Beat. Ready for the Street.
When the shift ends, the job doesn't. That’s why Major Industries is launching a dedicated apparel range tailored for off-duty police. Coming soon, this new line blends practical comfort with a sharp, operational aesthetic—designed specifically for serving and sworn officers across Australia.
Crafted from performance-grade fabrics, our off-duty collection will include:
-
Technical T-shirts for gym sessions, training days, and everyday wear
-
Durable hoodies and windcheaters perfect for cooler evenings and travel
-
Caps and accessories designed with restraint and purpose
Built for comfort, engineered for pride—our apparel line is almost here. Stand by for release details.
Operational Load-Out Kits: Recruit-Ready. Senior-Suitable.
Our Operational Load-Out Kits have redefined what tactical preparedness looks like for Australian police recruits. Whether you're preparing for the Academy or halfway through probation, these kits provide a trusted selection of gear to get you started—without wasting money on things you don't need.
Available in Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, each kit is curated based on:
-
Operational experience
-
Frontline feedback
-
Compatibility with standard-issue equipment
-
Legal carriage and duty-appropriate use
From essential lighting to handcuff keys, gloves, and pouches, these kits ensure you hit the ground running with kit that won’t let you down. The Platinum tier is our most comprehensive offering—ideal for seasoned members or those entering high-tempo operational roles. It includes premium upgrades across all gear categories, additional storage and deployment options, and exclusive items not found in lower-tier packs.

Our Commitment: Service Without the Spin
At Major Industries, we don’t sell hype. We won’t flood your feed with tactical cosplay or recycled military slogans. We don’t believe in selling untested gear just because it’s trending. And we certainly don’t mark up prices just to capitalise on a badge.
Instead, we focus on the fundamentals:
-
Practicality
-
Durability
-
Value for money
-
Compatibility with standard issue kit
-
Support for those behind the frontline
We know what it means to be in your shoes. That’s why our tagline—Never Off Duty—isn’t just branding. It’s a mindset.
Our Range: Always Expanding, Always On-Mission
With ongoing feedback from officers and evolving operational demands, our inventory is constantly reviewed and expanded to reflect real-world policing needs. We're planning:
-
New apparel drops based on direct officer input
-
State-specific badge apparel (e.g. VICPOL, NSW Police)
-
Expanded torch and signal lighting options
-
Customisable pouches and kit
We partner with vetted manufacturers and continue to engage with frontliners to ensure our range reflects reality—not fantasy.
