PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MIM&TECH START-UP
Groupe Marck, a French industrial group, has signed an exclusive partnership with MIM&TECH, a French start-up specialised in camouflage, a partnership that has resulted in the acquisition of a 40% stake. Based on their 22 years’ experience acquired within the French special forces by its leader, MIM&TECH develops custom-made camouflages meeting the requirements of the operators of units: lightness, simplicity and ergonomic design with an ease of deployment and use, to blend into all types of environments. The products on offer include ergonomic, light reversible camouflage outfits, which will be made in France in the Groupe Marck workshop in Taninges (74). Camouflage suits are completed with various artefacts:
- Camera housing to quickly camouflage a cylindrical camera in rural and suburban areas. Ultra light and reusable
- 3D rock modelling to hide its equipment in a stony and rocky environment in semi-arid and mountainous areas.
- Interchangeable and reusable patches to add 3D without hindering equipment handling.
MIM&TECH is a member of GICAT GENERATE.

S.A.F.E. X7®: POSITIVE FLOATABILITY LIFE JACKET
SAFETY ADAPTABILITY BUOYANCY ERGONOMY X7® S.A.F.E. X7® is a versatile , modular positive buoyancy life jacket that has been developed according to the ISO 12402-2 standard. With a buoyancy of 275 Newtons, the life jacket has the highest level capable of supporting over 23 kg of equipment. The secured vest has three trigger systems:
- Automatic: electronic detection. Up to 7 modes to be set according to depth (from 0 to 10m), temperature (from -30° to +70°C), time and presence of water.
- Manual: trigger handle. The wearer activates a trigger at torso height. This handle directly activates the hammer to inflate the bladder.
- Mouth: mouthpiece. The wearer opens the cover using the quick-open zip fastening and uses the mouthpiece to inflate the bladder with their breath. This is for emergency or top-up inflation.
The multi-use vest has 2 attachment systems:
- it can be attached to M.O.L.L.E. vests – bulletproof vests, plate carrier vests, tactical vests
- or alone with its harness attachment system.
S.A.F.E. X7® is a patented system that has been specially designed to counter perforation risks (bullets, cuts, etc.) through the small amount of surface it occupies. Located at the nape of the neck, it in no way impedes the user’s movements and provides discreet protection. This ergonomic design, coupled with its lightness, gives it indisputable qualities for the most critical missions.
F.A.S.T. 360®: Tactical Plate Carrier with Quick Release System
FAST ACTION SYSTEM TRIGGER 360® F.A.S.T. 360® is a plate carrier with an innovative, patented Quick Release System (QRS). 
The simple to use system enables the plate carrier to be instantly released: it can be used in one hand and one click with a simple action on the trigger handle (ambidextrous). The plate carrier opens fully with no additional action necessary. F.A.S.T. 360® has been designed to facilitate the fast removal in critical situations such as drowning, strategic retreat or in the event of injury during an operation. There are two versions of the release system:
- Full release: the plate holder is fully detached.
- One-sided release: the plate holder detaches on one side only. This variant is used when the wearer incorporates electronics in their GPB/PP (cable passage in the shoulders preventing the release).
Compact (14 cm x 7.2 cm) and discreet, the QRS offers optimal ergonomics and does not affect the plate carrier’s comfort. 3D mesh lining for breathability and systems that can be adjusted at the shoulders and waist to ensure the best fit for the wearer. 4 modular covers: front, back and sides for optimal mobility. Compatible with all SAPI/ESAPI-shape plates: the 25 x 30 cm plate carrier provides 360° protection with rigid Stand-Alone ballistics plates to be inserted into each cover. Once the QRS has been activated, reassembling the plate carrier is straightforward and quick: takes less than one minute.
