Founded in 1996 by four Norwegian ex-soldiers, NFM is a European leader in protective equipment, empowering military, and law enforcement personnel to operate at their full potential while ensuring their safety. With roots in Scandinavian craftsmanship, we focus on delivering innovative protection solutions tailored for any environment. Employing a diverse team of over 1,000 people across six European countries, NFM champions diversity, with women making up half of our management team.
At NFM, innovation is more than a core value—it is an operational imperative. With an international R&D team of over 80 engineers and experts based in Norway, Poland, and Germany, we are at the forefront of setting new industry standards.
Our holistic design approach involves end-users, engineers, and designers. We aim to create systems that align with natural behaviours, crucial in high stakes combat situations. Our contributions to European Defence Fund projects and collaborations with the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment further underscore our commitment to future-ready combat gear.
Quality is non-negotiable. We collaborate with top European labs for external verification, while our internal labs focus on meticulous quality control. We follow international quality and environmental standards, ensuring product consistency and traceability.
Strategically located state-of-the-art production facilities across Europe enable quick ramp-ups and flexible deliveries. Our capabilities extend to laser cutting, automated sewing machines, lamination, and robotics, making us a reliable, global partner in protective gear.
