Entire M sp. z o.o. is a Polish company headquartered in Wrocław (Poland), operating internationally in the design and manufacture of military and outdoor clothing and equipment. The company manages the brands Helikon-Tex and Direct Action and distributes selected third-party products[1][2][3].
History
[edit]Entire M was founded in 1983 by Grzegorz Mieszczak, initially focusing on the trade of military surplus equipment. Until November 2021, the company operated under the name Helikon-Tex. The current name, Entire, reflects the company's end-to-end operational model, while the letter M references both the founder's surname and the military industry from which the business originated[4].
In 1991 Entire M became the exclusive distributor of Morakniv knives in Poland. In 1998 the company established a logistics centre and office facilities in Miękinia, near Wrocław.
In 1999 Entire M launched its Research & Innovation Department, composed of field experts and professionals. This unit began designing solutions for both civilian outdoor and shooting enthusiasts, as well as professional tactical users[5].
Operations and production
[edit]The company's headquarters is located in Wrocław, while its logistics centre, product development team, and quality control department are based in Błonie, in the Miękinia municipality near Wrocław. Entire M also maintains branches in the United States and Taiwan.
As of 2023, Entire M employed an average of 314 people across its Polish facilities – an increase of 94 from the previous year. The total team exceeds 350 professionals, including military and tactical experts, designers, engineers, fashion buyers, seamstresses, and operations specialists.
The company is currently managed by Jędrzej Mieszczak (CEO), Piotr Mieszczak (Vice President), and Piotr Chrobot (board member).
