Made in France
Pangolin Défense® produces all of its ballistic packs in its workshop in Haute-Marne (Grand-Est Region).
We are proud to offer our customers 100% French-made products.
All the ballistic packs we sell are the result of a long R&D process. Before being offered for sale, our products are subjected to a series of laboratory tests. These tests allow us to obtain certificates of conformity to the standards established by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The purpose of these official documents is to guarantee the performance of the ballistic packs.
The different levels correspond to the types of calibers to which they are exposed.
In addition, Pangolin Defense® works exclusively with quality materials (fibers, ceramics, fabrics) sourced from the world’s best suppliers (leaders in their field).
In order to fully meet the needs of operators in the field, Pangolin Defense® has jointly developed a complete range of covers and vests adapted to its ballistic packs.
