Core Services

The Force approached MC Products to produce a baton round pouch which required to fitted to the thigh area:
The forces were looking for an initial purchase of 100 of each and then to put in further smaller orders of 50 as top ups. These quantities fit in with our UK production model and could be produced at our factory in Kirkby.
Our Business Development Manager borrowed an Inert sample of the Force’s baton round and then briefed our designer of the forces requirements. We came up with a bespoke 5 round molle baton pouch and thigh rig with the following features to hit their brief:

The sampling process on this did take more than one go, as there were lot of elements to get right. But by liaising with the customer through phone calls and meetings we came up with a product which was a great fit for the force. We ended up supplying 100 of each unit which were delivered earlier this year.
