Who are we?
Cutting Edge Products began in 1990 when Ray Gilbarte began selling pepper spray from the trunk of his car to stores in eastern North Carolina. The business grew quickly and now we ship our products throughout the US and around the world. Our brand, Streetwise Security Products, is currently one of the most recognizable and respected brands in the self-defense industry. We have kept our customers on the 'cutting edge' by manufacturing, importing, and wholesaling the world's most effective security products. We strive to conduct business in a fair and honest manner and to honor God in our personal lives and business dealings. Our corporate office, showroom and distribution center are located in the eastern US in Winterville, NC. Click here to "Meet the Staff."
Who do we sell to?
We sell to the trade only. In addition to having exported our products to over 30 countries worldwide, we sell to established businesses throughout the US and help people start their own businesses. Our customers include retail stores, wholesalers and distributors, as well as companies that sell on the Internet and through mail-order catalogs. For those who do not want to keep inventory at their location, we can drop-ship directly to your customers.
