ORLANDO, Fla., June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirTra, Inc. (Nasdaq: VTSI) (“VirTra” or the “Company”), a global provider of judgmental use of force training simulators and firearms training simulators for the law enforcement and military markets, today announced the purchase of its Orlando building along with a neighboring property, reinforcing the Company’s long-term commitment to Central Florida and expanding its established presence within the region’s globally recognized military simulation and training community.
VirTra’s Orlando campus is located within Central Florida Research Park, a major defense, simulation, aerospace and technology hub that brings together leading industry participants, government stakeholders, and academic and research institutions. Neighbors within Central Florida Research Park include Boeing, BAE Systems, L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics, among more than 140 companies. This proximity supports VirTra’s ability to remain closely connected to customer needs, partner activity, and evolving training requirements across the military simulation and training ecosystem.
By purchasing its existing Orlando facility and acquiring the neighboring property, VirTra is converting an established operating footprint into a larger, owned campus designed to support customer engagement, program activity, partner collaboration, and future operational needs as VirTra continues to advance immersive training solutions for military and law enforcement customers.
“The purchase of our Orlando facility, along with a neighboring building, represents a long-term investment in both VirTra’s future and the Central Florida community,” said John Givens, CEO of VirTra. “Orlando plays a critical role in the military simulation and training industry, and this expansion reinforces our commitment to supporting Team Orlando, our customers, and the broader defense training ecosystem for years to come.”
VirTra has maintained a presence in Central Florida for years, working alongside industry, government, and military partners within the region’s modeling, simulation, and training ecosystem. The expanded campus deepens that presence and provides a more permanent platform to host customers showcase immersive training technologies in a market central to military readiness and simulation innovation.
VirTra’s expanded Orlando campus provides a strong operating foundation within Central Florida Research Park, a world leading military simulation and training hub.
The newly acquired facility will provide VirTra with greater operational flexibility and control to support customer-facing activities, administrative functions, program-related work, and strategic collaboration as military and law enforcement agencies continue to modernize training.
In addition to its Orlando expansion, VirTra’s 75,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona, strengthens the Company’s ability to produce high-quality training solutions in the United States. The facility supports American jobs, enhances domestic manufacturing capabilities, and helps ensure military and law enforcement customers receive reliable, mission-ready training tools built to support national readiness.
“From our Orlando presence to our Arizona manufacturing operations, VirTra is investing in the people, facilities, and technologies needed to support our customers and strengthen the communities where we operate,” Givens added. “These investments reflect our commitment to American manufacturing, national readiness, and the continued advancement of lifesaving training solutions.”
