Defence Composites, a leading provider of high-performance body armour and protective clothing, has expanded its product range to offer even greater protection for security professionals and workers operating in high-risk environments.
Since introducing its first stab vest in 2008, the company has consistently led the way in body armour technology, supplying certified solutions designed to protect against a wide range of threats.
The latest addition to the Defence Composites range is protective clothing crafted from Kozane® Extreme, a lightweight, breathable, and highly durable fabric that provides outstanding protection against cuts and lacerations. Designed for professionals in security and hazardous work environments, this advanced clothing also offers resistance to bites and slashes, making it particularly valuable for staff in mental health facilities, care homes, and special educational needs environments, where additional protection is often required.
With an expanded selection of body armour, customers now have greater flexibility in choosing protective solutions tailored to their specific needs, including defence against stab, spike, impact, and ballistic threats. The company also offers a variety of body armour covers, available in concealable, overt, hi-viz, and multiple colour options, ensuring both practicality and adaptability.
Defence Composites has become a trusted name among UK security companies. Dean Rawson of SWL Security shared his positive experience: “Our company orders all of our stab vest covers from DC. The team is fantastic, and the gear is top-notch. We’re even able to request custom designs. They’re definitely a trusted supplier.”
Established by Craig Mills, who brings more than 40 years of experience in defence and manufacturing, Defence Composites continues to drive innovation in protective gear. Craig said: “I’m fortunate to work with such a skilled team at Defence Composites, which allows us to stay at the forefront of innovation in protective gear.”
Customer input plays a vital role in the company’s product development strategy. A few years ago, Defence Composites worked closely with UK Police Forces and HM Prison Service to conduct trials, leading to the creation of canine body armour, now widely used by UK police forces.
Defence Composites has also launched a new website, showcasing its full product range. Visit defencecomposites.co.uk to explore the latest protective solutions.
The company will be exhibiting at this year’s Security & Policing Event, taking place from 11–13 March. Visit stand B114 to learn more about their latest innovations in body armour and protective clothing.
