Wixom, MI – Trijicon®, Inc., global provider of innovative aiming solutions for the hunting, shooting, military, and law enforcement markets, is pleased to announce that the Michigan Manufacturing Association (MMA) has selected the Trijicon ACOG® to receive the 2024 Coolest Thing Made in Michigan Award! The ACOG was selected from more than thirty nominated products through two rounds of consumer voting, and a final selection by the MMA Excellence Awards committee.

The Manufacturing Excellence Awards is an annual statewide celebration of the exceptional contributions that Michigan manufacturers make to their workforce, their communities, the economy, and the industry. The program promotes the inspiring stories of Michigan’s manufacturing industry, the thousands of unique manufacturing companies across the state, the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders employed in the industry and the local communities that support it.

“For more than a century, Michiganders have been making cool and innovative products that have had an incredible impact on our state and country,” said Michigan Manufacturers Association President & CEO John J. Walsh. “Trijicon’s Advanced Combat Optical Gunsights (ACOGs) are an exceptionally deserving product to receive the coveted title of Coolest Thing Made in Michigan. These Made-in-Michigan precision aiming solutions disrupted the industry with a product that increases the effectiveness and safety of our warfighters and first responders. My heartiest congratulations to the entire Trijicon team!”

“From the home of Trijicon founder Glyn Bindon to the front lines of America’s greatest fighting forces, the Trijicon ACOG has grown to become the most durable, battle-proven, combat optic ever designed", said John Trull, Trijicon Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “We would like to thank our employees for their dedication and focus on quality, our President, Stephen Bindon, for providing all Trijicon employees with an outstanding place to work, and thank you to the Michigan Manufacturing Association for the opportunity to highlight our company and how important manufacturing is to Michigan.”

The Trijicon ACOG (Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight) is a rugged, precise, and ultra-reliable riflescope designed for military, law enforcement, and civilian use. Built to withstand the harshest environments—whether land, sea, or air—the ACOG features a forged aluminum housing that offers exceptional durability. This housing contains a fixed magnification system paired with a calibrated BDC reticle, illuminated by fiber optics in bright conditions and by tritium in low or failing light, eliminating the need for batteries. Its iconic reticle allows for fast target acquisition, easy ranging, and solid aiming, with red, green, or amber reticle colors available to suit various environments. The ACOG's design also incorporates the Bindon Aiming Concept® (BAC) feature, enabling shooters to engage targets with both eyes open for quicker and more instinctive aiming. Trusted by military and law enforcement agencies and civilian enthusiasts worldwide, over one million 4x32 ACOGs have been sold, cementing its reputation as one of the most trusted riflescopes available.

Trijicon is proud to count among its ACOG users the United States Marine Corps, United States Army, United States Special Operations Forces, United States Government, state and local Law Enforcement and many of America’s allies. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of civilian enthusiasts who trust the ACOG for their dedicated riflescope.
