POL-TEC has been a reliable and proud partner of the Bundeswehr and German law enforcement agencies for 25 years, equipping them with highly customized equipment.
Among the highly developed products offered by POL-TEC is the “FX Simunition training ammunition” from the manufacturer General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (“ General Dynamics ”).
As a realistic, non-lethal training ammunition, this product is of enormous importance in enabling emergency personnel to conduct realistic training without the risk of serious injury.
False claim circulating in the market
We have been made aware on several occasions that as yet unidentified third parties in the market are spreading the rumor that General Dynamics will no longer produce the product “FX Simunition Training Ammunition” and/or that the ammunition is not available.
These claims are false and are deliberately used to unsettle market participants.
FX Simunition training ammunition available long-term and reliably
POL-TEC has been the general distributor for General Dynamics in Germany for over 15 years. This strategic partnership will continue without restriction in the coming years. In response to the malicious rumors, General Dynamics has explicitly confirmed that the successful "FX Simunition Training Ammunition" product will continue to be produced in the future ( see General Dynamics statement ).
POL-TEC hereby also confirms that the German Armed Forces and German law enforcement authorities can continue to rely on being equipped with the “FX Simunition training ammunition”.
False claims will be prosecuted
POL-TEC advises that it will take legal action against any person who knowingly makes false claims that General Dynamics will no longer manufacture the “FX Simunition Training Ammunition” product in the future.
POL-TEC has already commissioned the commercial law firm BEISSE & RATH to immediately examine any legal action and, if necessary, to take it as soon as the person(s) making these false claims have been identified.
