CQC is a world leading British based manufacturer of textile products with a long-standing history in design, development and production for the defence market.
Since 1948, CQC has provided high quality, robust, military personal equipment to the UK Ministry of Defence and many professional international militaries.
In recent years, CQC has diversified and has established itself as one of the UK experts in the design and manufacture of CBRN clothing as well as delivering the innovative Fibrelight range of maritime safety products, both of which have been delivered across the globe.
CQC delivered more than 240,000 sets of the award winning Osprey body armour system to the UK MoD to protect troops on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. With its uniquely designed modular capability, Osprey allows dismounted troops maximum flexibility in weight distribution and integration of ballistic protection. CQC’s R&D department worked continuously with the MoD to modify, update and improve Osprey based on feedback from those who used it in battle.
With many decades of experience working with the British Military, CQC has applied its design capabilities and high quality systems to design and deliver products for other governments, armies, police and security forces. As a result CQC is now leading the world in the design, development and innovation of new technologies and capabilities, delivering the very best soldier systems and safety products around the globe.
