Our History

 

2001 - Foundation of RISK International Group

 

The history of INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR originates from the establishment of RISK International Group, a defence-oriented organisation founded in Greece in 2001.

 

The original structure consisted of three specialised entities:

 

• RISK International Defense Company Ltd – NATO & UN registered Defence Supplier
• RISK International Security Management S.A. – Certified security services provider
• RISK International Protection Science Institute – Accredited professional training institute

 

2001–2009 - International Representation

 

During this period, the group served as an official representative of several international defence manufacturers, supporting authorised security, military and governmental clients.

 

This activity provided the foundation for the company’s later international development in defence consulting, arms trading and security procurement.

 

2010 - Transformation into INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR

 

In 2010, the activities were restructured and expanded under the corporate identity INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR, creating a unified international brand for defence consulting, arms trading and security procurement solutions.

 

This transformation was supported by strategic partnerships, international representation networks and cooperation with recognised manufacturers and specialised suppliers.

 

2011 - Expansion in the International Maritime Security Sector

 

INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR expanded its activity in the International Maritime Security sector.

 

The company became a major supplier of specialised equipment to the global private maritime security sector, supporting companies responsible for protecting commercial vessels operating in high-risk waters.

 

Since 2015 - INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR Goes Global

 

Since 2015, INTERNATIONAL ARMOUR has continued expanding its international trade in defence and security products, developing partnerships with international manufacturers, specialised suppliers and high-technology companies.

 

The company has maintained an international clientele across more than 50 countries, supporting authorised clients with compliant, mission-oriented defence and security solutions.
