Primiano left the Army as a sergeant first class, serving as an ODA weapons sergeant. Prior to his last assignment, he spent a year-and-a-half on 3rd Group's force modernization staff as the target engagement lead. He was a senior selection board member in Special Operation Command's Family of Muzzle Brakes, Flash Hiders and Suppressors program. That program resulted in the 2011 contract award and fielding of 5.56mm and 7.62mm silencers and muzzle devices across SOCOM.
"They are such an innovative company," Primiano told us, "I'm excited to join the SilencerCo family."
moreAfter leaving the Army in 2012, Primiano spent a year working for OSS Suppressors, also based in Utah, before taking this new position with SilencerCo. He officially started May 1.
We received the following announcement from SilencerCo this afternoon:
"SilencerCo is proud to issue a formal welcome to the newest member of our team, Johnny "Primo" Primiano. Johnny is an Army special operations veteran with two handfuls of deployments under his belt."
"A year and a half of his enlisted time was spent as senior selection board member in charge of writing the current requirements for SOCOMs suppressor and muzzle device programs."
"This background makes Johnny ideal for his position in SilencerCo's Business Development department, focusing on Government Programs in both the foreign and domestic realms."
"We are excited to have Johnny on board, and look forward to the impact he will have on SilencerCo's culture of innovation, education, and customer service."
