This year, Equipnor marks three decades of supporting police and armed forces.
From Norway to a global company
Equipnor was established in Bergen, Norway, in 1996, at a time when the global security landscape was evolving and operational demands were changing. What began as a small sports shop with close ties to the Norwegian Naval Special Forces quickly developed into something more.
From the beginning, Equipnor had a clear mission: to equip operators with products that work when it matters most.
This strong end-user focus has remained unchanged. We identify the best products from leading suppliers and integrate them into complete soldier systems. Every component is selected, combined, and tested to perform as one system. From the smallest detail to full-scale systems, everything is built around operational reliability.
Experience drives development
Our strength lies in our people. Equipnor is built on experience from demanding environments, by a team that understands the realities of the field because they have lived them. We have stood in the same boots as the operators we support. Felt the cold. Carried the weight. Faced the consequences when equipment falls short.
This foundation drives continuous development. We adapt and improve solutions based on real user insights. The result is equipment that delivers not only performance, but confidence, with the purpose of making a difference for the individual operator.
Our team also maintains a strong focus on project management, quality, and leadership. Solid knowledge in public procurement, combined with a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and quality assurance, gives us a strong and reliable foundation. Years of working with public tenders have built both competence and confidence in how we deliver.
We also rely on a broad portfolio of trusted partners. Behind each of our brands are people who have placed their trust in Equipnor. These long-standing relationships are an important part of our ability to deliver consistent quality and reliable solutions.
Strengthened through NFM Group
In 2001, Equipnor became part of NFM Group, strengthening our capabilities and expanding our reach. From our start in Bergen to our presence in Ski today, we form a key part of NFM’s Scandinavian sales organisation.
30 Years later
For three decades, we have equipped those who protect.
As we mark 30 years, we remain committed to strengthening our position, developing our capabilities, and delivering real impact for our customers.
