At Baltex, we specialise in developing advanced fabric solutions for those who put their lives on the line every day. Our innovative textile technologies provide vital protection for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and others working in hazardous environments. 

Superior Body Armour Fabrics

Baltex supplies high-performance fabrics engineered specifically for body armour applications. Our proprietary weaving and coating processes create ultra-tough, lightweight materials that deliver superior ballistic and stab resistance.

Cut-Resistant Protective Gloves

Our cut-resistant glove fabrics combine extraordinary strength with a surprising level of dexterity and tactile sensitivity.
