The innovation leader forradio-controlled, wireless locking and accesscontrol systems was already investing in thetransfer of its know-how at the start of thenew millennium with this goal: intelligent gunsafety systems. In taking this step ten yearsago, SimonsVoss laid the cornerstone for thegroundbreaking technologies from Armatix.The spin-off has been managed as an independentlimited liability company since 2004.—In 2006, Ernst Mauch, chief technical officerof many years’ standing at the famous armsmanufacturer Heckler & Koch, joined Armatixmanagement. As a result, Armatix is backedby comprehensive knowledge not only ofarms technology but also of safety technology.Optimum prerequisites for developingsolutions that set new standards in the fieldof gun safety.Construction of productionfacilities in Petersburg/ ThuringiaHIGH LEVELS OF EXPERTISE—More than 30 employees work at advancinggun safety at the sites in Munich (headquarters)and Petersberg (productions and logistics).The results are impressive: for ArmatixTrustlock blocking devices, certifications havebeen granted for more than 50 caliber by thePTB [the German national metrology instituteproviding scientific and technical services]in accordance with the German “Erbwaffengesetz”[law governing inherited weapons].PATENTED SOLUTIONS—17 patent families underscore the high level ofinnovation inherent in our products. Armatixsolutions make it possible to lock and releasethe lock mechanism of firearms within seconds.Safe gun use thus reaches a level thatwas still unconceivable a few years ago. Mechatronicblocking devices with various digitalor biometric authentication options serve asa basis.
