Protective Vest System 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.

This advanced, modular protective vest system is tailored specifically to the requirements of the Special Operations 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.

“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,” said Mario Amschlinger, CEO of Mehler Systems. “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,” concluded Amschlinger.
