OPEC CBRNe
OPEC CBRNe, a UK based business, are designers and manufacturers of high comfort, high protection Level C CBRN suits.
Our History.
Through the sale of the former Remploy organisation in 2014, OPEC CBRNe gained the rights to Remploy’s intellectual property. Remploy, a social enterprise employing mostly disabled workers, were manufacturers for the UK MoD and the UK Police. Many of our current workers are ex-Remploy, we have retained the link to them via partnerships and shared social values.
Since gaining the Remploy IP we have innovated and improved the suit systems to provide the lightest and most comfortable CBRN PPE, without compromising on protection.
