Yesterday’s online and paper editions of the Austrian newspaper ‘Heute’ (Today) featured an article and photo gallery of the Austrian Interior Ministry’s anti-terrorist / special operations unit ‘Einsatzkommando COBRA’.

In the photos below, we see a two-man sniper team in their standard-issue GreenZone™ camouflage smocks and trousers from SABRE in Germany.  COBRA has been using a range of GreenZone™ camouflage clothing and equipment made by SABRE since 2012.

Einsatzkommando (EKO) COBRA is a member unit of the ATLAS Network of European police special operations units.  EKO COBRA regularly conducts training exercises together with colleagues from Germany’s GSG9, France’s GIGN and RAID, Britain’s SCO19, and others.  Within 28 member states of the ATLAS Network, EKO COBRA is said to provide the subject matter expertise in the area of raids on buildings.

Last week, MMI Textiles publically presented the full range of PenCott™ pattern fabrics for the first time at the annual conference and exhibition of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

DSCN1680DSCN1684The attendance at the booth was very good, we made several great new industry connections, strengthened ties with existing ones, and generally received a very positive response to the strategic partnership between MMI and Hyde Definition.  We look forward to many more successful ventures together.
