Mil-Tec

Mil-Tec is the in-house brand of Sturm Handels GmbH, a German family firm with its head office in Rottenburg am Neckar and its main logistics site in Tangermünde, Saxony-Anhalt, plus a branch in Cartersville in the USA. The company began by handling ex-army stock and went on to design and make its own outdoor and functional clothing cut to military patterns. Today the Mil-Tec range runs to thousands of items: field clothing, base layers and shirts, caps, boots, rucksacks and packs, tactical equipment, knives and camping kit. Side lines cover kit for security staff, a hunting collection, a kids range and reproduction uniforms and props for re-enactment and film work. Sturm sells as a wholesaler only, supplying a network of authorised specialist dealers around the world, so players buy Mil-Tec through army surplus and airsoft shops rather than from the brand directly. Dealers can register for trade access, and a dealer finder on its site points buyers to a local stockist.
