Our History
Take a trip back in time with us as we explore where it all began in Op.Zulu. Hear about how we turned one small idea into a dream and how it is now a successful business in the tactical makret.
2008
It all started back in 2009 when a small group of serving and ex-police officers had an idea of adding their spin to the tactical market. Who else would have been better to produce top quality kit other than those who have had experience wearing it? Our team reached out to some product developers to see if our idea could become a reality and sure enough it was! So we then set off into business and got to the drawing board.
2009
The design process wasn’t easy as we recognised issues along the manufacturing process. However there was no one better than us to create a range of products that better suited the needs of police and security operatives all over the world. Our small team was able to recognise issues faced by officers and operatives who are constantly trying to balance quality and economic restraints when purchasing tactical equipment.
2010
We were almost there… We had the designs down to perfection and initial feedback was great so we headed into production! Very quickly we had partnerships with top quality factories and businesses eager to stock our products. We were so proud of how far we had come, we had provided a range of high-quality, low-cost equipment that offered the high standards of the premium brands in the market and we were nearly ready to launch our products in the UK.
2011
Soon enough it was launch day and it was a day we’d never forget. Soon enough we had bulk contracts rolling in which emptied out our stock and so back to the factory we went. Op.Zulu was now a successful retailer and distributor in the UK and the demand was huge. We were quickly able to expand our product range and improve our quality even more with real time customer feedback.
