From February 24 to 26, ISOCLIMA Group, in collaboration with Welp Group, was present in Hall 9 – Stand 365 at Enforce Tac 2025, the most important trade fair in the Defence and Security sector.
Enforce Tac 2025 marked the opening of the twelfth edition of the leading trade fair for internal and external security.
In the city of Nuremberg, it made over 50,000 square meters available to its more than 1,000 exhibitors, surpassing previous standards and offering visitors a truly unique experience. Once again, the event successfully brought together national and international defense experts, presenting the latest news on innovative sector developments and ideas for the most advanced solutions.
“This 2025 edition, with its 5 exhibition halls, has been the largest ever organized,” the organizers told us.
It was an event open exclusively to a rigorously selected and therefore limited audience, including members of the armed forces, representatives of authorities, organizations tasked with police or military security duties, and a restricted group of journalists. In this way, the organizers aimed to ensure a highly specialized atmosphere and promote professional exchange while maintaining maximum security levels.
This comprehensive sector event, featuring renowned manufacturers, not only presented the latest technologies but also offered a varied side program with symposia, multilateral debates, exclusive VIP sessions, and innovative exhibition formats.
“Our goal, as a manufacturer of high-performance transparent solutions, was to expand our network of contacts, showcase our technology, and demonstrate the performance of our products,” said Simone Milan, Program Manager Security Vehicles.
“It was our first experience as exhibitors at Enforce Tac, where we presented two products: a prototype of our Curved Armored Glass and Omniarmor, the VPAM – PM9 90°/0°NATO certified ballistic glass selected for the Toyota Land Cruiser 300. As anticipated, the event proved to be a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships with our current partners, while also gaining new insights to further evolve our leading position in the sector.”
