BlastTec ApS was founded on a simple conviction: Europe deserves better. Better equipment, better technology, and a defence industry built by people young enough to understand where warfare is going — and qualified enough to get there first.
Frederik Møller and Johnny Schmiechen — a Dane and a German, both educated in pyrotechnics and chemistry, both convinced that the European defence landscape was falling behind in ways that most people hadn't noticed yet.
They founded BlastTec ApS initially as a chemical company. But the mission was always larger. Both understood that Europe was entering a period where rearmament was not a political talking point, but a practical necessity.
From that shared diagnosis, BlastTec Defence was born.
Drone warfare, urban combat, asymmetric engagements — the battlefield looks nothing like the one that shaped the equipment sitting in most European arsenals today.
Not from briefing rooms, but from technical education and hands-on development — BlastTec was built by people who know this from the inside.
If the equipment didn't exist, they would build it. If the formulation wasn't good enough, they would improve it. That attitude has not changed.
Frederik brings the Danish precision and design sensibility that defines BlastTec's product philosophy. Educated in pyrotechnics and chemistry, he has been central to the company's formulation capabilities. His conviction that European nations deserve the most advanced ordnance available — not legacy systems repackaged — drives every product in the catalogue.
Johnny brings German engineering rigour to the partnership. Equally educated in pyrotechnics and chemistry, Johnny has been the driving force behind BlastTec's technical infrastructure — from the in-house testing range to the CNC engineering capability that allows custom hardware production without external dependency.
Deterrence is not about aggression. It is about credibility. A well-armed Europe is a safe Europe — not because it seeks conflict, but because strength removes the incentive for it.
No European nation should settle for outdated or inferior equipment when better exists — or can be built.
If the product doesn't exist, we develop it. MJOLNIR — the world's first grenade of its class — is proof of that.
Young specialists across Europe — selected for technical excellence, not institutional seniority.
BlastTec does not hire generalists. Every person was brought in for a specific, deep technical capability. Different national traditions in engineering, chemistry, and military thinking make the team sharper.
