IrvinGQ® Soars to New Heights: $26M Funding Fuels a Century of Life-Saving Innovation

IrvinGQ® is proud to announce a major funding milestone, having successfully raised £26,000,000 to further our mission as the world’s most trusted design and manufacturing resource for aerial delivery systems, naval decoy solutions, parachutes, and search & rescue equipment. For over a century, our company has been steeped in tradition and excellence, evolving since the historic free-fall parachute descent by Leslie Leroy Irvin in 1919, and later being bolstered by the visionary work of James Gregory and Sir Raymond Quilter with GQ Parachutes. Today, IrvinGQ® carries forward the proud legacy of these pioneering companies, ensuring that every product we craft not only meets the highest standards of quality and reliability but also saves lives around the globe. This recent funding infusion will be strategically deployed to accelerate research and development in cutting-edge materials and design innovations, enhance our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, and expand our global operations. By investing in new technologies and modernizing our production processes, we aim to meet the growing demand for life-saving equipment while retaining the storied traditions and time-honored craftsmanship that have defined our brand since its inception. Furthermore, these funds will enable us to bolster our customer support and service networks, ensuring that communities worldwide can confidently rely on our products. At IrvinGQ®, we are excited to use this opportunity to honor our rich history, empower our skilled workforce, and continue our critical role in both military and civilian safety operations. We invite you to join us on this journey as we set new benchmarks in safety, technological advancement, and global operational excellence.
