Lilltech AS

What Lilltech AS does

Lilltech AS is a family-owned Norwegian defense and security equipment distributor headquartered in Gardermoen, Norway, founded in 1994 and operated by the Lilleås family with a team of approximately five employees. The company functions as a value-added reseller and regional representative for international manufacturers of specialized tactical and security equipment, serving defense forces, police authorities, prison administrations, and private security operators primarily in Norway and Sweden, with stated reach into Iceland and Denmark. There is no proprietary technology development; the company's role is curation, representation, and distribution of certified equipment from third-party manufacturers.

The product portfolio is organized across CBRNe protection (Med-Eng bomb suits, Airboss CBRN gear, decontamination shelters, masks), detection systems (Teledyne FLIR identiFINDER radiation detectors, Fido explosives trace detectors, Griffin GC-MS chemical detectors, IBAC biological detectors), EOD/CIED tools (FLIR FirstLook/SUGV/PackBot/Kobra unmanned ground robots, MAS Zengrange remote firing systems, FEREX magnetometers, search equipment), forensics instruments (Foster+Freeman DCS 5 fingerprint systems, MVC fuming cabinets, RECOVER LFT, Crime-lite light sources, VSC workstations), and police/tactical equipment (Sioen ballistic shields, Blac-Rac gun racks, Hilleberg tactical tents, CORE inspection cameras). Many products carry NIJ certifications required for Nordic public-sector procurement.

The business model combines quote-based enterprise and government contracts for major equipment with a self-serve e-commerce webshop at lilltech.no/webshop for smaller individual tactical accessories. Sales are consultative and relationship-driven, supported by active participation in major defense trade shows (Milipol Paris, Eurosatory, EnforceTac, DALO Industry Days, CBRNe Symposium, SHOT Show). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are documented in the source material.
