The NFM® Group was founded in 1996 by four men who were all active in the National Guard in Norway. Frustrated with the discomfort and lack of functionality of their existing military vests, they decided to make some improvements and sew some load bearing vests on their own.
When the Norwegian military heard of this project, they offered a small development fund to enhance these vests further. The result was a vastly improved vest, according to the existing standards, ready for sale in 1998.
Since, the company has grown and today, the NFM®Group is a major contender within the full spectrum protection segment. Our products and services are currently in use by a number of European armed forces and police.
The NFM® Group has a diversified range of products and services. Every detail has a purpose and every solution can be justified:
- Tactical textiles and load bearing equipment
- Modular, full spectrum body armor solutions
- Vehicle protection, fixed and modular armoring solutions
Equipnor is the sales organization for the NFM Group and one of the largest distributors of tactical equipment for police and military in Northern Europe.
In addition to personal equipment, our many products range from personal armor, weapon- and weapon accessories to equipment for maritime operations. Equipnor is also a large distributor of equipment to Norway’s many marine bases, in addition to units operating in Norway and abroad.
