Våpensmia Signs as Representative for Telva’s Obsidian™ IR Light
As of October 2023, Norwegian fine-mechanical production company Våpensmia has signed an agreement to act as official representative for Telva’s lighting products in Norway. Våpensmia is a renowned and regarded supplier of high-quality optical sights, technical weapon equipment and maintenance services.
In August 2023, Telva launched Obsidian infrared illuminator with limited and controlled range for covert operations. Subsequently, to further support the expansion of the Obsidian product family and better serve the customers in Norway, as an example, Telva has signed on Våpensmia as representative for Norway.
Telva’s Managing Director, Tapani Hollmén, comments the agreement: “Våpensmia is a perfect partner for Telva. The company has a long and established presence in the Norwegian defence and security sector, having already served the potential customers of Obsidian for years. We appreciate the fact that Våpensmia’s credibility is high, thanks mostly to their expertise in developing, manufacturing and supplying demanding optical and mechanical weapon equipment. We are confident that together with Våpensmia, Obsidian will quickly gain traction and become a success for both companies.”
Våpensmia, located in Dokka, is an AQAP 2110-certified fine-mechanical production company with an impressive CNC-based machine park. The company is active in the security and defence sector, as well as hunting and shooting sports. Våpensmia’s Managing Director, Ole Furuseth, says: “We have done business with Telva before, so we were aware of their profile and strong commitment to quality and functionality, two ambitions we share as businesses. When they launched Obsidian in August of this year, we quickly identified the unique potential of a limited range IR illuminator, and felt it would fit perfectly in our own product offering. We are happy to now have become the official representative for Obsidian in Norway, and we look forward to presenting it to our customer groups.”
Obsidian is a limited range IR illuminator, which functions like any other IR light in the immediate vicinity of the device, but its light is literally undetectable from afar. This means it can be used for operating a vehicle, establishing a base or laying a bridge, but it cannot be seen from surrounding observers beynd a certain distance.
