The company will supply several thousand ergonomic assault vests in a multi-million dollar project.
Plasan Sasa of Kibbutz Sasa in the Galilee has been awarded a contract to supply the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with assault vests in one of the largest tenders issued in Israel for personal armor.
Plasan Sasa will supply the IDF with thousands of its ergonomic assault vests in a project valued at several million dollars. The sophisticated vests are made of exceptionally lightweight yet durable materials that provide full coverage for critical torso areas, while being unusually comfortable to wear, even in the most difficult climatic conditions.
“There has been an increasing awareness regarding the importance of personal armor. We have worked with the IDF over the years on many different projects involving various armored platforms, and are very pleased that the IDF has once again shown its confidence in our solutions and our technology, and has selected us for this important project, which will protect soldiers’ lives and safety during their various missions and enable greater security and survival in the army”, said Plasan Sasa CEO Dan Ziv.
The company recently won a multi-million dollar tender to supply personal armor to a country in Asia.
