NFM Group subsidiary Hexonia was awarded two contracts to supply combat clothing for the German Armed Forces
As the number of women in the armed forces continues to grow around the world, the need for tailored equipment is increasing. As part of the NFM Group, our German subsidiary Hexonia has secured a contract with the German Armed Forces to develop a feminized version of the German Armed Forces combat clothing set (KBS SK), used by all soldiers in the German Army.
The order includes the development of a combat suit for women based on the KBS SK, consisting of a short combat jacket, a long combat jacket and combat trousers. The feminized combat suit is designed to ensure a good fit and sufficient freedom of movement in combination with all other KBS SK items, such as underwear, insulation layers, shoes and accessories.
In addition, Hexonia has been commissioned to supply around 52,000 long combat jackets, 83,000 combat jackets and around 78,000 combat trousers from the KBS SK. Delivery of the items is scheduled to begin in mid-July 2026.
“We are delighted with the order and proud that Hexonia is the only supplier to have been awarded a lot for each item. In recent years, we have invested heavily and expanded our production capacities in order to meet the high volumes demanded in the context of fully equipping soldiers. This step allows us to continue to act as a reliable partner for the German Armed Forces.”
Sabine Albert, Managing Director of Hexonia GmbH
Since 2020, Hexonia GmbH has been supplying the complete combat suit, underwear, insulation layers, moisture protection, protectors and suspenders for the KBS SK to the German Armed Forces.
Together with Hexonia and our wider group capabilities, NFM Group continues to advance the development of integrated soldier systems that combine protection, comfort, and mobility. This contract marks an important step towards ensuring that every soldier is equipped with solutions that enhance survivability on the frontline, contributing to the ongoing modernisation and readiness of Europe’s armed forces.
