New Products at Enforce Tac 2026

Hexonia GmbH is not only known for its reliable delivery of large volumes of high-quality products, but also for its innovation in the field of protective equipment for soldiers and security forces. Extensive production and development capabilities at the company’s headquarters in Nettetal, combined with its three-year membership in the NFM Group, ensure that this medium-sized company can not only fulfill large orders - such as clothing systems for the Dutch (DOKS) and German Armed Forces (KBS SK & MOBAST) - but also consistently bring new products to market.

The Enforce Tac trade show, which takes place February 23–25 in Nuremberg, provides a fitting venue for presenting new products every year. As comprehensive suppliers of personal protective equipment, Hexonia and NFM will showcase their Full Spectrum Protection (FSP) concept. In addition to comprehensive clothing concepts, FSP also includes modular helmet and protective vest systems as well as advanced ballistic protection plates, which can be customized in terms of shape, weight, and protection level as needed.

First Entry Protection System – When Protection Offers Freedom

The FEPS (“First Entry Protection System”) body armor system - which Hexonia is showcasing for the first time at Enforce Tac - illustrates just how complex and versatile ballistic protective gear can be. Hexonia and NFM developed FEPS for special forces with the goal of providing all-around protection for those who operate in high-risk scenarios and must act quickly.

What sets the system apart is its 360-degree protection concept, which offers both high levels of protection and maximum mobility. This is made possible by ergonomically shaped, VPAM-certified hard ballistic plates, as well as the overlapping of soft and hard ballistic elements. The protection area covers the entire torso, flanks, upper arms, and thighs, as well as the lower abdomen and neck. The use of high-performance materials with a low weight-per-unit-area ensures that the system has a low overall weight.

New EIR Product Line Offers Protection Against Invisible Threats

With the unveiling of EIR, Hexonia is showcasing yet another innovation in Nuremberg. In Norse mythology, EIR is the goddess of healing, an invisible protector who wears neither armor nor a blade. Drawing inspiration from this goddess’s powers, Hexonia and NFM are showcasing CBRN protective suits for soldiers and security forces at Enforce Tac that provide operational safety in contaminated environments.

The expertise in the development and production of CBRN protection comes from Hexonia’s sister company, Paul Boyé Technologies, which has been part of the NFM Group since 2025. Paul Boyé was founded in 1904 and supplies protective and operational systems to armed forces, law enforcement agencies, emergency responders, and the healthcare sector. The company is a recognized expert in CBRN protection and a trusted supplier of tactical equipment, technical uniforms, and protective clothing used in demanding operational environments. Paul Boyé employs approximately 250 people in France and over 2,000 at its ISO-certified production facility in Madagascar.
