Rivet is an American company developing hardened systems for industrial workforces and defense personnel. In an era when skilled workers are retiring and global competition demands data-driven action, we aim to multiply the effectiveness of every individual. We stand for renewed frontline grit, elevated for decisive outcomes in all environments.

Technicians, maintainers, first responders, engineers, and trade specialists. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines. They embody the hard work, meritocratic values, and ingenuity that drives western prosperity. Yet they’re forced to rely on outdated tools that fail under modern pressures.

The front lines can’t win when they are in last place for new technologies. Rivet exists to reset priorities.

Whether they build our vehicles, maintain our infrastructure, or defend our civilization, our working heroes deserve tools that withstand the weight they carry. Rivet is delivering new capabilities where they matter most.

We are committed to the people who take on the world’s most challenging missions.
