Mehler Ballistic for Sweden

Mehler Vario System has been awarded the contract for further supplying the Swedish Armed Forces with its ballistic high-performance protective vests, the company announced today.

The main contract, which was also announced by the Swedish procurement agency "Försvarets Materielverk" (FMV) on their website, stipulates that Mehler Vario System will increase the quantities of ballistic protective vests delivered.

Prior to being awarded the new contract, Mehler Vario System had already equipped the Swedish military with several thousand of these protective systems. According to the company, the new contract involves the delivery of ballistic protective vests worth around €180,000,000.

The Swedish Ministry of Defense stated that the procurement contract was awarded to replenish and expand the current stock of body armor vests for the Swedish Armed Forces.

According to the FMV, the high global demand for protective vests exceeds the capacities of most manufacturers to keep up. The FMV was understandably pleased that Mehler Vario System, a globally active manufacturer of protective and carrying systems for police, military, and special forces, was able to meet the agency's requirements not only in terms of delivery deadlines but also in terms of product quality and performance, said Thomas Homberg, Managing Director of Mehler Vario System GmbH and Mehler Vario System Group.
