We are launching a retail consumer brand TOTA (The Optimal Tactical Alliance). It’s a brand new creation of bags and gears with the concept of having military functionality paired with consumer aesthetics.

A local elite law enforcement agency had ordered TOTA backpacks for their officers. That shows their confidence and trust in our brand, which we appreciate.

The TOTA backpack main compartment is designed with 2 padded internal sleeves for laptops and mobile computing devices. The beaver tail front is designed for ballistic helmets and fits helmets for both sports and safety functions. There is also a next-to-body compartment, which allow users to stash their important documents and cash for theft prevention. We must say, our bags are well thought-out.

TOTA backpack are available in 11 colours and are made with military grade 1000D Cordura fabric with YKK zippers for enhanced durability. They are hand built individually with care and to perfection.

A recent delivery made to a local government agency for the custom order of emergency response vest. This is what we do best, we will work with our customers to understand their requirements and design the best solution to meet their expectations.

The emergency response vest is based on the military MOLLE PALS system for modularity. Military grade fabrics and principles for enhanced durability, adopted for civilian use. Our customer is more than pleased.

We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a multi-years contract for flame resistant uniforms for an elite local law enforcement agency. It will be made only with Tencate Defender M™ fabrics that are tried and tested in battle fields in the most recent years.

Force 21 had kicked off a collaborative program with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to enhance and custom build our smart kiosk, Birloki, to better accommodate to the distinctive cultural traditions and practices in Asia. Originally from Spain, Birloki was designed with urban planning at heart. It was built as an element of city planning, to connect the neighbourhood by promoting public engagement and also connectivity to the environment with its built-in technology.

This program gives SUTD students an opportunity to practically apply the knowledge, principles, concepts and techniques they have learned to solve real-world challenges. We are waiting in anticipation to be wowed by their solutions to modify and advance our prototype.

The Capstone project is a learning process, throughout the journey, students can consult the instructors, the participated SUTD professors or the company mentor for project related queries. Force 21’s Senior Manager, Jason Wei is the industry mentor for this project. He has been meeting with the students every alternate week to provide the domain, technical and project management expertise to advise them on the delivery progress. Apart from that, founder of Birloki, Mr Juan Sadaba, is also involved in guiding the students on a regular basis during the project period.

Force 21 is proud and honoured to be the partner of Vestergaard for LifeStraw^® in our region. LifeStraw^® is committed to redefining the safe drinking water space through technology innovation, product quality, designing and programs that have measurable impact. We aim to drive sustainable access to safe drinking water by engaging governments, corporate donors, NGOs/IOs and foundations to understand the problem and become an active part of the solution. To date, LifeStraw^® has been deployed in more than 64 countries.

Knowing that there are at least 140 million people in South East Asia not having access to clean potable water, Force 21 has committed and pledge to use LifeStraw^® as a tool to promote safe potable drinking water in South East Asia. With every filter sold, parts of the proceeds will go towards the “Follow the Liters” programme which will provide a child with clean water for a school year.

World Water Day is held annually on 22 March, a day designated by the United Nations (UN) to celebrate the importance of water.

In 2018, Singapore World Water Day (SWWD) will be celebrated throughout the month of March. The theme for SWWD 2018, “Make Every Drop Count” underpins the active role each of us can play to show our care for water.

Public Utilities Board (PUB), Singapore’s National Water Agency marked this significant day by having an annual event held at the Marina Barrage on 3 March 2018, with Singapore’s President Halimah Yacob as the Guest-of-Honour.
