Ultimate Survival Kit giveaway set for Thursday’s booth happy hourz
Katadyn Group, a global leader in sustainable hydration, nutrition and cooking solutions, will present its latest advancements at SHOT Show, Jan. 21 to 24, at the Venetian Expo in Las Vegas. Visitors to Booth #42638 will have the opportunity to explore the Aquifer 3000 portable desalination system, the Explorer Pro and a range of field-ready hydration, nutrition and cooking solutions designed for demanding operational environments.

The Aquifer 3000 is a new portable desalination system developed with input from the U.S. military and is one of the most advanced water purification technologies designed for remote military operations. Using military-grade water purification technology, the Aquifer 3000 delivers up to 3,000 gallons of fresh water daily through a portable desalination system designed for use with seawater, brackish water and freshwater sources for military, humanitarian and disaster response scenarios.
"We look forward to showcasing the new Aquifer 3000 at SHOT Show and connecting directly with military and tactical professionals," said Chris Voxland, president of Katadyn North America. "It represents a meaningful step forward in enabling the future warfighter to access safe drinking water independent of traditional supply chains."
In addition to large-scale desalination systems, Katadyn Group will display the Hands-Free Desalinator, the new Explorer Pro and other lightweight filtration solutions such as the BeFree AC Microfilter, SteriPEN Defender UV system and Micropur MP1 purification tablets.
The Explorer Pro, using a first-of-its-kind three-stage filtration system that combines ceramic microfiltration, activated carbon and virus removal in a modular configuration, supports individual and small-group hydration needs across a wide range of freshwater sources. Filtration stages can be added or removed based on conditions, and all components can be stored dry between uses to support long-term performance during extended deployments.
Emergency nutrition, including NRG emergency rations, and select stoves from Optimus will also be on display to support field meal preparation.
"SHOT Show is an important opportunity to engage directly with partners and end users across the defense and tactical community," said Chad Reams, military business development manager, Katadyn North America. "Being on site allows us to have meaningful conversations about how these systems are used to support real-world operations."
As part of SHOT Show, Katadyn Group will host a booth happy hour and Ultimate Survival Kit giveaway at Booth #42638. The Ultimate Survival Kit, valued at more than $2,000, includes solutions from Katadyn Group, Ledlenser and other premium brands. The drawing will take place live during the booth happy hour on Thursday, Jan. 22, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. PT.
