Tambest Oy’s product development aims for the lightest bulletproof structure on the market, and currently we have tested the BR 4 and BR 6 level products.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING

We manufacture products with a high processing value in line with the customer’s needs as a serial production. Production is characterised by batches of a certain size, or periodical production.  Products can also be made to the warehouse, from where the customer calls the orders according to their own production.

RESPONSIBILITY

 

Tambest Oy follows a comprehensive responsibility programme in all its operations. Environmental responsibility is the core of our production. All glass waste is directed to Uusioaines Oy for processing and film waste to industrial reuse.
