Why Zweko is the right partner for visors and ballistic glazing in defense and security

In defense and security, protection and visibility are crucial. Soldiers, police officers, and security personnel rely on equipment that keeps them safe while ensuring a clear field of vision in every situation. That’s why leading defense organizations trust Zweko for advanced visors and ballistic glazing solutions.

Did you know: Zweko Optics was present at the DSEI exhibition in London this year? This is one of the world’s most prestigious events for defense and security. We not only gained insights into the latest innovations in our industry, but also held discussions with laminators of ballistic glazing and helmet manufacturers about the integration of our visors. These constructive conversations led to promising collaboration opportunities and the further development of customized solutions for defense applications.

High-performance visors: protection meets clarity

A visor should never force you to choose between safety and performance. Zweko visors are designed to provide:

• Superior impact resistance against threats and flying debris.
• Optical clarity with scratch-resistant and/or anti-fog coatings that ensure visibility in dust, rain, and extreme temperatures.
• Comfort and usability, allowing operators to stay fully focused on the mission without distraction.
  

From combat helmets to face protection for special forces units, Zweko visors stand for unmatched reliability in the field.

Did you know: At Zweko Optics we recently developed two new innovative visors? First, we created visors for a safety helmet that slide seamlessly into the helmet rather than being mounted on top (left). On the right, we developed visors for aircraft carrier crew helmets, featuring a high-quality scratch-resistant and anti-fog pinlock insert.

Ballistic and safety glazing for vehicles and infrastructure

In armored vehicles, guard posts, and critical facilities, glazing is often the first line of defense. Zweko’s ballistic and safety glazing is engineered to:

• Withstand ballistic impacts without compromising structural integrity.
• Ensure clear visibility for rapid and accurate decision-making.
• Increase durability with advanced protective ViewTec coatings.

Our coated polycarbonate sheets provide operators with both protection and confidence, supporting mission success without compromising situational awareness.

Did you know: At Zweko Optics we developed an in-house coating that scores nearly perfect on ballistic performance? It’s called ViewTec AGR abrasion resistant coating. This coating delivered outstanding results in multiple tests. Read more about it here.

Tailored solutions for every mission

Every mission comes with unique challenges. That’s why Zweko works closely with defense and security organizations to develop customized visors and glazing, from mobile armored units to static protection systems. All products are rigorously tested to meet or even exceed international defense standards.
