Heckler & Koch was founded in 1949 and was one of the few German companies allowed to manufacture weapons and spare parts for the police, federal border guards and the Allied occupation troops even during the Allied arms ban. The company is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of weapons with firm roots in Germany. For more than 60 years they have been a reliable partner for security forces, police and special forces of NATO and NATO-associated countries. Heckler & Koch stands for the highest quality and innovative products.
