- ABOUT ARMYTEK
Let’s start from the middle. Legally Armytek Optoelectronics Inc. was registered in the beginning of the 2010 in Ontario, Canada.But everything began much earlier. Starting from 2007 we have taken part in more than 50 international exhibitions on different continents. Now our product line consists of 32 models and 12 kinds of original accessories which are represented already in 75 countries of the world, but in the nearest future there will be launched 21 new models of flashlights, which altogether will cover every significant sphere. Our corporation has multiple patents worldwide.
We bust myths. No more compromises. Forget everything you’ve known about flashlights before. 
- We’re very much looking forward to review the newest and greatest Armytek flashlights and headlamps.
