Our focus on a combination of the highest quality manufacturing, the best wearing comfort, and uncompromising protective performance has earned us an outstanding reputation in our industry.

As a family-run business in its second generation, we have a personal interest in your safety and welcome the opportunity to introduce you to our uncompromising products – because we will not compromise on your safety.
The CRC series offers excellent all-round protection for the upper body against cutting and stabbing weapons, as well as against blunt force impact, thanks to our segmented and body-shaped protection packages made of a special aluminum alloy. The material aluminum has very advantageous properties for us: it is light, strong and durable. These properties make it ideal for our application.
The various protection packages for chest, back and shoulder are included in the body armor (integrated upper arm optional). The individual protection packages can be removed for replacement or cleaning if necessary.
Our MKTEC CRC – series was developed to protect the user in the operation against the risks of injury from blows and stabs. Especially the combination of impact and stab protection against sharp and pointed objects (e.g. knives, ice picks, hammers, axes, etc.) are seeking their match in the market. All our products provide reliable protection according to the requirements of international standards, without interfering with the natural freedom of movement of the human body.
The products are designed, developed and produced in our company in Lüdenscheid. This enables us to guarantee a consistently high quality of our products and to respond to and implement specific and individual customer requirements. As a benchmark for our developments, we can refer to in-house testing facilities, which enable us to pre-test products and new developments without any loss of time before they are finally tested and certified by an appropriate independent testing institute.
All of our products are tested and certified in accordance with internationally applicable guidelines and regulations. These include, for example, the VPAM KDIW 2004, HOSDB/CAST and the NIJ.
The VPAM (Vereinigung der Prüfstellen für angriffshemmende Materialien und Konstruktionen) has established itself in Germany and Central Europe as the standard for impact and stab protection equipment. Certification to VPAM requires additional performance criteria compared to NIJ or CAST. As a result, it can be considered the significantly higher in terms of protective performance.
Basically, the tests run as follows: The protection package is tested with an attack tool at a defined alignment (angle) and energy. In the process, the guidelines allow for a maximum permitted level of penetration. But is that enough? MKTEC has made it our mission not only to meet the guidelines, but to exceed them. With our patented and unique connection technology, we protect the wearer even in places that are not tested according to the guidelines. As a result, we ensure a high level of protection not only under laboratory conditions, but also in actual practice.
