As a military surplus-retailer company, Helikon-Tex was established in Poland in 1983 and kept its direction, maturing as a company and gathering experience for over a decade.In the late 90', when the growing mismatch between current military gear solutions and the new challenges awaiting a modern-day soldier became obvious, Grzegorz Mieszczak, the owner of the company, decided to develop up-to-date military and paramilitary lines of clothing and gear.1999 was a milestone in the formation of Helikon-Tex as a producer and a brand itself. Building our own Research&Development department, based on true professionals in their field, we started to design modern and specialized solutions for advanced practitioners and hobbyists in the military, shooting sports and outdoor activities.
