BCB International: British heritage in survival solutions

BCB International is a British brand specializing in the design and manufacture ofsurvival and protective equipment, with a clear focus on harsh environments. Based in the UK and proudly established in Cardiff, the company's mission is to provide "life-saving" equipment, designed to improve survivability, operational efficiency and logistical sustainability, in sectors such as defense, security, humanitarian and maritime.

Historical continuity rare in the tactical world

BCB International?s identity is rooted in a long history, dating back to 1854, in the time of Dr. Browne, before a gradual evolution towards recognized expertise in survival innovation. It also experienced a structuring period under the leadership of Deryck Howell from 1949 onwards, and a family operation maintained until 2025. This continuity nurtures an industrial culture in which reliability, production repeatability and the ability to respond to real constraints take center stage.

BCB International emphasizes a "capabilities" approach to design, contract manufacturing, testing and supply chain management, with an emphasis on innovation. Areas covered range from signature management (multi-spectral camouflage) to survivability and field support solutions, as well as deployable infrastructures, global contracting programs and the assembly of kits configured according to operational needs. In a system-oriented logic, the challenge is not just the object, but the overall coherence: the object must therefore emphasize compatibility, robustness, ease of integration and availability under demanding conditions.

The brand insists on high standards of conformity, with quality and environmental accreditations(ISO 9001 and ISO 14001), as well as a regulatory framework linked to the distribution and monitoring of products supervised by the British Health Authority (MHRA). BCB International also boastsNATO supplier status, listing over 200 items with NATO stock numbers, and approvals linked to the UK Ministry of Defence.

Since January 2025, BCB International has been part of the Wescom Group, a move presented as a lever for international expansion and technological reinforcement, while remaining true to an ambition to protect and support those who operate in extreme conditions. In the airsoft world, this signature retains a particular resonance thanks to a field culture and an approach focused on survival, organization and resistance to use.
