Von Roll has been present in the field of civilian, military, and paramilitary ballistic protection for many years. The product range Durapreg®, Para-Lite®, and PGR® enables Von Roll to offer an extensive product portfolio suitable for each specific protective ballistic need.
Wherever weight is an issue, ammunition, standards, and testing methods are specific, shape and sizes are particular, Von Roll can offer competitive and professional solutions. Each demand usually requires a special internal study in order to propose a qualified product. Specific tests are made using our own test equipment or via recognized labs to certify that they correspond to international ballistics standards such as STANAG, prEN, Jacket standard NIJ, NFP, and others.
