About Mil-Tec
Mil-Tec is the house brand of Sturm Handels GmbH, the world's largest distributor of European military surplus, founded in 1971 in Rottenburg am Neckar, Germany by Thomas Sturm. What began as a small surplus operation run from a basement grew into a global enterprise with over 75,000 square meters of warehouse space, a 10,000-item catalog, and a network of 3,000 specialist dealers across the world. The Mil-Tec brand was launched in 1995 to bring German-designed, military-specification outdoor and tactical gear to the market at prices that make professional- grade equipment accessible to everyone.
Sturm's roots in genuine military surplus give Mil-Tec a design advantage that purpose-built brands cannot match. For over five decades, Sturm has graded, sorted, and distributed surplus equipment from armies around the world — including a massive influx of Eastern Bloc gear after German reunification in 1990, when the company acquired a former East German border guard depot on the Elbe River and received trainloads of surplus material daily. That hands-on experience with field-proven military equipment from dozens of nations directly informs the design and construction of every Mil-Tec product — gear built to military form, fit, and function standards by a company that has handled millions of pieces of the real thing.
The Mil-Tec product line spans tactical clothing, MOLLE-compatible backpacks and assault packs, load-bearing vests and plate carriers, pouches and magazine carriers, boots and footwear, camping equipment including tents and sleeping bags, first aid kits, knives and multi-tools, tactical gloves, eye protection, and a full line of outdoor accessories from headlamps to fire starters. Mil-Tec also produces dedicated lines for security professionals, hunters, and a historically accurate reenactment and living history collection featuring reproduction uniforms and equipment from the World Wars and other eras — backed by an inventory of 30,000 original uniforms that has outfitted major film productions including Inglourious Basterds, Valkyrie, and Bridge of Spies.
All Mil-Tec products are designed in Germany and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management. The company also participates in the Social Fair initiative to ensure ethical manufacturing conditions across its supply chain. With a U.S. distribution center in Cartersville, Georgia stocking over 2,000 items and receiving weekly container shipments from Germany, Mil-Tec products are readily available to American dealers and consumers without the delays and costs of direct international ordering.
