MKU had recently created a lot of buzz in the international market with the acquisition of Germany based company AST Security Equipment GmbH, a NATO registered company specialising in Helicopter and Ship armouring. ‘The acquisition of AST Security Equipment, Germany will provide us with strategic capability to provide cutting edge integrated armouring solutions for the modern vehicle armouring programs across the world’ said Mr. Neeraj Gupta, (Jt. Managing Director, MKU) on the occasion.
MKU has also recently introduced its ‘INSTAVEST’ - a snap on & off quick release MOLLE type ballistic over-vest which it claims has a world-beating new system which disengages the body armour in less than 1 second from the body of the soldier when required. Commenting on the vest, Mr. Neeraj Gupta said ‘This vest is a result our constant focus on the requirements and needs of our end customers, it will prove to be a boon for soldiers in critical evacuation and extraction scenarios in life threatening scenarios as also to injured soldiers seeking emergency medical treatment”. Earlier last year MKU had introduced a revolutionary new Aero system & other low trauma ballistic over-vests for personal protection.
