ZentauroN – Quality, Made In Germany

February 19, 2015/0 Comments/in Gear Manufacturers, Zentauron /by Lawrence

No, ‘ZentauroN’ isn’t the name of a wizard in an upcoming “Hobbit” or “Lord of the Rings” film, its actually the name of a respected German maker of high-quality gear.

ZentauroN (German for ‘Centaur’) produce a wide range of equipment and bags for a variety of applications. Their range includes products for military and law enforcement, civil protection and security, search and rescue, outdoor pursuits and sports.

Well known for their Vulcan Plate Carrier system (seen below), which is in use with German special forces, ZentauroN recently developed a new Multi-Mission Plate Carrier / Body Armor System for the Italian ‘Incursori’ special forces.

They also recently launched the Vulcan and a number of their other core military products in GreenZone™.

See the full line up on their website and follow them on Facebook. ZentauroN will also be exhibiting at Enforce Tac and IWA next month in Nuremburg.

Yesterday’s online and paper editions of the Austrian newspaper ‘Heute’ (Today) featured an article and photo gallery of the Austrian Interior Ministry’s anti-terrorist / special operations unit ‘Einsatzkommando COBRA’.

In the photos below, we see a two-man sniper team in their standard-issue GreenZone™ camouflage smocks and trousers from SABRE in Germany. COBRA has been using a range of GreenZone™ camouflage clothing and equipment made by SABRE since 2012.

Einsatzkommando (EKO) COBRA is a member unit of the ATLAS Network of European police special operations units. EKO COBRA regularly conducts training exercises together with colleagues from Germany’s GSG9, France’s GIGN and RAID, Britain’s SCO19, and others. Within 28 member states of the ATLAS Network, EKO COBRA is said to provide the subject matter expertise in the area of raids on buildings.
