Defence & security equipment
Ruggedised machined hardware produced under controlled documentation, confidentiality and traceability requirements.
Why manufacturers in this sector work with us
Defence programmes demand disciplined documentation as much as accurate metal. We work to controlled drawing revisions, retain traceability from material batch to finished part, and treat every enquiry as confidential.
Work in this sector is accepted subject to customer-supplied specifications and applicable regulatory approvals — talk to us about your programme requirements before release of drawings.

Frequently asked questions
Will you sign a non-disclosure agreement?
Yes. We routinely work under NDA and restrict drawing access to the engineers on the job.
Can you supply first article inspection reports?
Yes — FAI, dimensional reports and material certificates are supplied where the programme requires them.
Do you accept controlled or export-restricted work?
Only where the applicable approvals and end-user documentation are in place. Contact us to discuss the specifics of your programme.
