Mehler Protection to Supply Protective Vests for German Special Operations Forces

Mehler Protection, part of Mehler Systems, has been awarded a follow-up contract by Bundeswehr Bekleidungsmanagement GmbH.

Under an existing agreement, Mehler Protection will supply the German Army’s Special Forces, including the Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK), with the “Schutzweste SpezKr modular” protective vest system and necessary spare parts.

“As a leader in innovation and quality, we are particularly proud to supply the German Army’s Special Forces with a protective vest system that is precisely tailored to their operational requirements.

This protective vest, derived from our M.U.S.T. product family, demonstrates our ability to adapt to customer requirements. Through our innovative capabilities, industrial expertise, and reliable supply chain, we are committed to being a trusted partner to the German Armed Forces and meeting their requirements on time. Our dedicated team in Fulda is working tirelessly to achieve this goal.”

Dr. Mario Amschlinger, CEO of Mehler Systems

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.
