Silencer Central

Meet the Leader: Brandon Maddox, CEO & Founder of Silencer Central ?? From a bold vision to becoming America’s leading silencer brand, Brandon Maddox has guided Silencer Central through incredible growth. Here’s what he had to say about the journey, the future, and what sets us apart: ?? The most surprising part of Silencer Central’s success: "When we launched our Direct-to-Consumer strategy, I wasn’t sure customers would trust a small South Dakota company to deliver suppressors to their doorsteps. But the demand for a simpler buying experience was there, and the response was overwhelmingly positive." ?? Where we’re headed in the next five years: "We’re expanding our presence in the dealer market, with BANISH becoming its own business unit available through distribution and directly from Silencer Central. As silencer demand grows, we’re also focusing on e-commerce partnerships and developing software solutions to streamline retail sales." ?? What sets Silencer Central apart from competitors and employers alike: "We have an entrepreneurial culture that prioritizes efficiency, effectiveness, and a shared drive for success. Unlike larger corporations with disconnected initiatives, Silencer Central is firmly committed to its mission of success and achievement. Many individuals dedicate their adult lives to finding work that resonates with their passions or those of their families. In this area, businesses centered around shooting sports and hunting are uncommon, leading to their considerable appeal. " Brandon’s leadership continues to push Silencer Central toward innovation and growth. Stay tuned for more insights from our leadership team!
