The WOSB status allows Kappler to help federal agencies and large companies meet small business goals through the WOSB set-aside programme. Kappler offers the added benefit of a Made in the USA pedigree, a huge plus for military and other government work.
Laura Kappler-Roberts, company president and CEO said, “We’ve already done significant government-related work for NASA, the Navy, Lockheed Martin, and others. The WOSB certification is a natural progression for our family-owned business, and will allow us to expand our expertise to a wider base.”
In addition to its Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products, Kappler has extensive experience supporting government projects with specialised R&D solutions. That history includes NASA work for an ammonia-protective hood for International Space Station astronauts, and a ballistic fabric parking garage for the lunar rover. Other development projects range from a deep-dive suit for the US Navy for hydrocarbon fuel protection, to nanoscale fabric development for Aberdeen Proving Grounds. (GK)
