Norma24 responds to rising security concerns by selling protective equipment like bulletproof vests and panic rooms online.

Norma24, the online shop of the German discount chain Norma, now offers security products including bulletproof vests and panic rooms.
The bulletproof vest, priced at €599, features steel plates that can withstand calibers from 9mm to .44 Magnum, along with magazine pouches.
A 'Pop-Up Panic Room' made of steel, designed for home installation, is available starting at €14,999, with an upgraded version using armored steel for €25,000.
The products are manufactured by Berlin-based BSSD-Defence GmbH, which reports a surge in demand for personal security equipment.
