SOTECH Tactical Carriage Gear Lands in Berlin – TACWRK of Germany

Friday, October 14th, 2016


SOTECH is proud to announce the landing of SOTECH tactical gear with our new stocking dealer, TACWRK of Germany. Their showroom and warehouse are located in Schöneweide, Berlin. We are very selective about our stocking dealers, particularly because of our long relationship with German Special Operations. Our Go Bags became a staple in Europe because of their early selection by German SOF, as did our medical systems. We wanted a representative who is reputable, reliable and knowledgeable. TACWRK’s team in Berlin consists of former soldiers with experience from Afghanistan – providing background-knowledge to master inquiries, but also showing a commitment to employ veterans – a subject dear to SOTECH’s principals. We were also impressed with TACWRK’s commitment to German military and police associations with donations and charity-sales.

TACWRK, established in 2011, strives to provide technologically high-end and advanced gear for professionals and gear aficionados. They support military, law enforcement, security agencies, and fire departments, in the GSA-countries: Germany, Switzerland Austria, and throughout Europe.
When ask “Why did you choose to carry SOTech?” they replied “S.O. Tech has introduced gear which quickly turned into milestones and industry standard. This is exactly the kind of innovation TACWRK wants to push and present to those whose work depends on it.”

TACWRK now carries the Go Bag, SERE Pack, 3-Day-Assault Pack, Viper Flat IFAK and of course the Battle Bear! Contact TACWRK for special orders of other SOTECH products and custom designs.

Be on the lookout for “the Black Sunday” the first tactical sales event of it’s kind, at least in Europe – the BlackSunday: www.facebook.com/160919563963583/photos

The Army’s Architects Visit Polaris Product Development Center

Thursday, October 13th, 2016

MINNEAPOLIS (October 13, 2016) — General David Perkins, the commanding general of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and members of his staff visited Polaris on Wednesday. Gen. Perkins received product and technology demonstrations at the company’s state-of-the-art engineering and product development center in Wyoming, Minn. The trip is part of the TRADOC commander’s broad benchmarking initiative focused on innovative businesses to identify and support best practices necessary to drive evolution of Army procurement, operations, and engagement.

“As the architect of the Army, TRADOC is tasked with envisioning the future environment so as to identify capability gaps, analyze potential solutions and then determine requirements,” said Gen. Perkins. “Our stop at Polaris is one of many that will help us gain better insight into the rapid technology development and agile supportability paradigms in commercial enterprise, including focused innovation and insertion into applications relevant for the next generation of warfare.”

“At AUSA last week, we showcased our family of ultralight, off-road military vehicles – the best of what’s available today in enhanced tactical mobility – and the tremendous advantage in tactical and strategic mobility they bring to today’s military operations,” said John Olson, PhD, vice president and general manager of Polaris Defense. “Yesterday, we were given the opportunity to fast-forward and show Gen. Perkins and his staff a glimpse at how we leverage our 60 years of off-road vehicle experience to rapidly and affordability develop, test, and deliver the technology and vehicles needed to meet – at the speed of need – the evolving, challenging demands of the nation’s warfighters in the years and decades to come.”

The Polaris Product Development Center opened in Wyoming, Minn., in April 2005. In addition to military technology and advanced vehicle development, the approximately 300,000 square foot facility houses research and development of Victory Motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles (ATV), RANGER utility vehicles, and Polaris Engines. Capabilities include world-class prototype fabrication and assembly capabilities, laboratories for structural testing, electrical development, materials engineering, and powertrain assembly and dynamometer testing. It also was one of the first facilities to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, created by the United States Green Building Council.

Polaris Defense vehicles deliver a coveted combination of deployability, versatility and off-road mobility, forged from more than 60 years of off-road vehicle experience that is simply unmatched. Vehicles include the rugged Sportsman MV 850, the modular and nimble MRZR, and the flagship DAGOR, which expands upon the range, payload and off-road mobility of any previous tactical light off-road vehicle. The enhanced tactical mobility provided by Polaris Defense gives an advantage back to dismounted troops, allowing formations to move faster, carry more and significantly reduce combat fatigue. Polaris service and support is scalable worldwide and includes military vehicle training, service and maintenance. It also can be supplemented internationally through the Polaris network of distributors, building on the global strength of the Polaris commercial enterprise. And because Polaris vehicles are in service throughout the world, there is a high degree of interoperability and commonality among U.S. and allied forces.

Pine Belt Processing, Inc New Product Gains EPA Approval

Wednesday, October 12th, 2016

STONEWALL, MS – Pine Belt Processing, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of its new product, PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD, which was recently awarded approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). With the rise of insect?transmitted illnesses, Mississippi?based Pine Belt Processing, Inc. realized a new product was needed to better protect service members serving in Zika?ridden environments.

PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD provides the user maximum bite protection through a highly?effective insecticide called Etofenprox. Textile fibers are treated with Etofenprox, providing the most effective protection available. PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD garments provide safety from bites at a consistent protection rate of 90% or higher and the reliability lasts for up to 75 washes.

PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD can be used to treat uniforms for pregnant service members, whereas current Permethrin insecticides are not used in maternity uniforms because of safety concerns. Etofenprox insecticide is registered in more than 50 countries for both agricultural and public health use. Textiles treated with PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD will provide the most effective protection available against insect?borne illnesses with unparalleled safety and with the lowest environmental impact.

PERIMETER ETO INSECT GUARD will be applied at the Pine Belt Processing facility in Stonewall, Miss. The recent EPA approval provides Pine Belt Processing the green light to treat military clothing and to further distribute its product – a fact that could potentially grow the company in the coming months.

“We are in the business of protecting our Armed Forces from insect?borne diseases – a job that is of utmost importance, especially with the rise of the Zika Virus,” said Ron Lack, General Manager of Pine Belt Processing. “A better solution to outdoor protective clothing was required, and our new product is the answer to protect those who protect us.” Lack also expressed appreciation to members of the Mississippi congressional delegation for assisting the company in its application to the EPA.
