Technical protective equipment: vests, jackets, cabin curtains and harnesses
Our group develops and manufactures technical textile products for defence, aerospace and other demanding industries. By integrating multiple manufacturing capabilities in-house, we can optimize product design around operational constraints.
We can manufacture components such as webbing, tapes, technical fabrics and fastening systems and integrate them into complete protective equipment including vests, jackets and harnesses.
Integrated manufacturing for technical protective equipment
Our capabilities enable us to adapt the mechanical and functional characteristics of each component:
Technical webbing and tapes: High-strength weaving, UV-resistant treatments, flame-retardant properties or controlled elasticity where required.
Protective fabrics: Abrasion-resistant materials such as Cordura®, fragment-resistant textiles, thermal barriers and blackout fabrics.
Buckles and fastening systems: Quick-release systems, robust military buckles and connectors selected according to the expected loads.
Custom protective equipment
Tactical protective vests and jackets
We can manufacture ballistic-vest covers, plate-carrier systems and modular tactical jackets, with attention to ergonomics and load distribution.
Safety harnesses and restraint systems
For work at height, helicopter rescue or equipment restraint in military vehicles and aircraft, harnesses can integrate reinforced safety stitching and high-strength webbing.
Why use an integrated textile manufacturer?
Co-development and prototyping: Engineering support can help optimize initial design, weight and user comfort.
Integrated components: In-house production of webbing, fabrics and selected hardware reduces interfaces and supports consistent quality.
Programme-specific compliance: Materials and designs can be selected according to the applicable defence and aviation requirements, including MIL-SPEC references and aircraft flammability requirements where specified.
FAQ
What is the benefit of integrated component manufacturing for a harness or vest?
Controlling the webbing, fabric and fastening interfaces makes it easier to optimize material selection, strength and compatibility across the complete product.
Can technical garments be designed for fire-performance requirements?
Yes. Depending on the application, fibres and treatments can be selected to address self-extinguishing behaviour, smoke generation and thermal resistance.
