Introducing
KATA
KATA designs, develops, and manufactures quality, state-of-the-
art protection solutions and carrying systems. KATAs products are
designed around the human frame. Its not enough that the
equipment fits the case, the case must also fit the user!
In 1983, two friends, members of an elite military unit, began exchanging
ideas about how backpacks and military equipment cases could be
made more modular and ergonomic. Based on their own field experience,
they went on to design a line of combat-ready gear. They named their
company
KATA
. In 2005 Kata joined the Vitec Group and under the
Photographic Division the company has been expanding and flourishing.
For many years KATA has been creating high-end products for
professionals around the world.
KATA Design HQ and part of the
manufacturing facilities are based in Jerusalem, Israel.
KATA
established its reputation by outfitting Protection and Security
Special Forces with auxiliary cases, utility & protective vests and
backpacks. Tough, durable, yet remarkably lightweight, KATA products
are constructed to withstand rough treatment and harsh conditions
over long periods.
In 2004,
KATA
launched the Global Digital Collection (GDC) for the
Professional Digital Photographer and Videographer. The collection
includes carrying solutions specifically designed for delicate digital
equipment incorporating KATA's latest development - the unique TST
(Thermo-Shield-Technology).
