Following its debut at Milipol Paris 2025 under the name MPM Protection, MPM is taking a new strategic step by officially launching its CATALX by MPM brand at Eurosatory 2026.
Through this new identity, CATALX aims to embody a modern vision of tactical equipment through innovation, modularity, ergonomics and field performance.
A chemical reaction can take hours. With the right catalyst, it happens in seconds. At CATALX, that is exactly what we do: accelerate.
In environments where every second counts and every move can make the difference, we are placing these ambitions at the heart of our mission, drawing on our long-standing expertise.
We know the plastic injection moulding process used by MPM to bring three key qualities to our products and projects: durability, ergonomics and lightness. Three assets that may seem contradictory but are highly valued by operational units to meet their ‘all-terrain, all-weather’ needs.
From field requirements to prototype in just a few months, we design smart and reliable equipment so as to prevent any delay when everything is at stake.
Based in Muret, in the Toulouse metropolitan area, MPM has specialised in plastic injection moulding since 1952 and is a member of the Etienne Lacroix Group.
With MPM Protection, the plastics processing company recounted its industrial origins; with CATALX, it now recounts its purpose.
An innovation designed for operations
Among the first solutions developed by CATALX is arrange of Holsters compatible with GEN IV, V and VI.
This range features a spring plate patented by the INPI that facilitates a quick and intuitive switch between multiple carrying configurations, ensuring responsiveness in crucial moments.
This polymer innovation facilitates the transition from foot patrol to “vehicle-mounted” mode, whilst improving the ergonomics and efficiency of operators in the field.
Two initial configurations will be highlighted:
- Holster Kit 1 – STD: a compact, lightweight version designed for discreet carrying;
- Holster Kit 1 – OPS: a version designed for advanced tactical equipment
CATALX, a forward-looking brand dedicated to tailor-made projects.
The Design Office, integrated into the production unit, are working daily on product development. Their research focuses on useful innovation, user-centred design and real-world requirements. A dual active-retention model, as well as the expansion of the holsters and accessories range, are currently under development for release in the coming months.
For their first appearance at Eurosatory, come and see CATALX by MPM alongside Cirra Packaging, also part of the Etienne Lacroix Group, in Hall 4 – Stand F217. To mark the occasion, Cirra has created a special holster case kit for CATALX to highlight this synergy.
