Protection Group Danmark is a Danish manufacturer of bulletproof and stab-proof vests, ballistic helmets, and hard armor plates. What makes them interesting is that they produce their helmets in Europe and make them available half to a third of the price in comparison with the well-known helmet manufacturers like Ops-Core or Team Wendy. These helmets are more difficult to obtain as they do not sell to civilians in Europe and are also more costly.
I met up with Jonas, the CEO of PGD and he explained they are filling this gap. '' You can see that the demand goes up every year. The trend already started years ago in the United States of America, Europe is, in general, a few years behind and next to that there is, of course, a difference in what you can own. Self-protection in terms of body armor is also a part of that. So we are offering European products at a lower price, the helmets are a bit heavier than the high-speed competitors but we do not compromise on quality.
PGD has moved all its production and testing to Europe and mainly to Denmark. They are currently working on their ARCH gen 3 helmets, Jonas wanted to show me the prototype behind doors in the booth, at first there was a slight panic because the bag with the prototype was missing but it was just misplaced. The new helmet is scheduled to launch in 2022.
