For the man on the ground
These words are not chosen lightly. This ambitious statement drives everything we do at COBBS. Our unfaltering belief that nothing but the very best is good enough for the men and women that need it most sets our standards. We work continuously to source and supply effective solutions to enhance their safety and fighting capabilities. If a capability doesn’t exist, we invest and work with our dedicated industry partners to make new solutions a reality.
Our LEGACY
Established in 2006, COBBS focussed on the man on the ground as a fighting system. From the start we have been an integral driver in both national and international innovation projects. Our extensive military experience has given us unique insight, enabling us to understand the operational challenges faced by the man on the ground and the need for highly functional solutions. As a result we have become adept at supporting our customers in understanding what their operational needs are, translating these into functional and technical requirements. We have remained unfalteringly loyal to the difference we can make to the man on the ground. This is reflected in our mission to provide solutions for immediate operational requirements, or go the extra mile to innovate with tailored solutions for critical success in an ever-changing field of operations.
Our Drive
At COBBS we are highly experienced experts in the fields of premium tactical equipment and Defence materiel, serving a broad spectrum of Law Enforcement and Armed Forces in Europe. We are recognised industry leaders in the marketing, sales and distribution of innovative, functional and proven products that add most value for the man on the ground. Leaning on extensive operational experience we are able to efficiently conceive and realise solutions that enhance safety and fighting capability. Our service extends far beyond delivery of product, ensuring the end-user remains connected to the industry and our technology partners to maximise the entire life-cycle of our solutions.
Our Services
We maintain the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and quality across all our client engagements and in everything we do. This culture of excellence enables our customers to have absolute trust in us and be assured of the value we bring to their organization. We have a highly developed ethical approach to ensure our ethics are always beyond reproach. We are honest with our customers, always objective with the advice we give them, and dedicated to protecting their best interests above all else. The man on the ground is always right.
