It all began in a remote town in Germany within a small garage owned by his parents. Andreas Harms manufactured by hand his very first backpack under the name of "PAX".  In 1994 the first Wasserkuppe "The Koup" backpack launched a new generation of quality bags that quickly developed a loyal customer base.

X-CEN-TEK GmbH & Co. KG was founded by Thomas Busch and Andreas Harms in 2000.

Now, a new line of PAX gear is ready for entry into the USA. 

PAX has a new look - and it ́s all about being second to none

Our new designs and production methods allow us to put more emphasis on the things that matter most. We streamlined the cleaning and disinfection methods of our products. Also, these bags are lighter-by a lot. The new look and features will make you stand out, in a very cool way. You can also create a customized PAX - product for every mission.

Since the very beginning back in 1994 we have developed a wide range of gear including backpacks, bags, ampoule modules, oxygen modules, personal equipment, documentation, vacuum products and other unique tools that will become your favorites, no matter where you work in the world of medicine.
