Our dedicated team in Fulda is working tirelessly to achieve this goal.”

This advanced, modular protective vest system is tailored specifically to the requirements of the Special Forces, providing optimal protection and high wearing comfort for a wide range of demanding missions.
A notable distinguishing feature is its design, which provides identical protective performance and weight compared to the existing system.
The production of the protective vest systems will take place at the Fulda site.
