Aspen International Ltd is proud to announce the addition of the Bianchi range of holsters, pouches, belts and accessories to our extensive equipment portfolio
photo: news article snippet

Bianchi International is recognized by shooting enthusiasts and professionals as the largest leading designer/manufacturer of innovative, high quality handgun holsters and accessories. The company was started by John Bianchi forty-seven years ago, who was then a full time police officer in Southern California. Over the years, the company grew to worldwide prominence through its innovative holster designs and John’s ingenious, and sometimes unconventional marketing strategies. Although Bianchi retired several years ago from the company he founded, his mark is left on a wide range of increasingly diversified and unique Bianchi holsters and accessories, available worldwide. Now as then, the Bianchi vision and commitment to innovative product design and handcrafting with the utmost care from the finest materials, continues to set new standards in the industry.

Headquartered in Temecula, California, the Bianchi International complex includes more than 70,000 square feet of research, design, development, manufacturing and support facilities. Fuelled by continuing growth, an additional 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility is located in Imperial Valley, California. Bianchi’s primary markets are law enforcement, military and sporting.

Bianchi’s many patented innovations have aggressively and consistently set the pace in holster technology. It was Bianchi’s heritage and tradition in leather holsters and accessories that put the company on the map. Yet, while Bianchi’s reputation for exceptional leather products prevails, Bianchi history also includes revolutionary holster design in ballistic weave nylon and other high-performance man-made materials. Bianchi is capable of filling large order requirements on tight schedules, while employing the most advanced production and quality assurance techniques in the industry.
