History
VBR-Belgium is a Belgian company active in the firearms and personal-protection equipment field. Public reference data identifies it simply as a Belgian firearms company, and its own commercial presence shows a business that has developed both weapon-related products and a substantial catalogue of protective gear. The company's firearms identity is closely tied to the VBR-B 7.92x24 mm S caliber sport conversion set for the Glock 17 pistol. This conversion product is featured on the company's home page and represents a specialised niche in the small-arms accessory market, allowing a widely used service pistol platform to be adapted to a different cartridge for sport or training use. Over time, VBR-Belgium expanded into personal-protection equipment, operating a physical store and an online shop. Its catalogue grew to include bulletproof vests, stab-resistant vests, cut-resistant clothing and gloves, hard ballistic plates and related tactical accessories. The company markets products under its own VBR designations, such as the VBR-KVL-91 cut-resistant leather jacket and the VBR-PG series of gloves, and also cooperates with other manufacturers to offer products such as the Turtleskin line of gloves. The protective range reflects a focus on standards-based protection. Vests are listed at NIJ levels including NIJ-2, NIJ-3A and NIJ-4, and some models combine stab and bullet protection, such as the Ares and Odin models. Product descriptions emphasise practical features for professional users, including dexterity, breathability, needle resistance and compatibility with hard plates that can stop rifle rounds. VBR-Belgium presents its offerings in multiple languages, including English, French and Dutch, consistent with its Belgian base and its orientation toward European law-enforcement, security and civilian customers. The company continues to operate its store and website as the primary channels for its firearms conversion product and its protective equipment lines.
