Defence Products & Assembly

We manufacture metal components and welded assemblies for defence and special vehicles – certified to DIN 2303 for defence products, built with automotive series quality and with everything from forming to final assembly under one roof.

Defence-grade quality from a series supplier: forming, welding and assembly certified to DIN 2303.

Defence supplier for metal components and welded assemblies

From exhaust and cooling systems to welded structural assemblies: as a contract manufacturer, we supply OEMs, prime contractors and system suppliers in the defence (defense) industry with ready-to-install metal components for military, special and security vehicles and equipment. Our joining technologies are certified to DIN 2303 for defence products, and our production follows automotive series standards (IATF 16949).

Processes from a single source

All key manufacturing steps are carried out in-house: CNC tube bending (Ø 6–150 mm), hydroforming with presses up to 2,000 t, deep drawing up to 500 mm, stamping up to 700 t, 2D and 3D laser cutting, welding and joining including stainless steel and titanium welding, our own toolmaking as well as assembly and end-of-line testing.

Certification and compliance

  • DIN 2303 – quality requirements for welding of military products
  • IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 – series quality, process control and full traceability
  • Export control – deliveries in compliance with the applicable Austrian and EU export control regulations
  • Confidentiality – projects under NDA, drawings and data handled confidentially

From drawing to series production

  1. Request and NDA: drawings, specification and volumes
  2. Feasibility: design for manufacturing, material and process selection
  3. Prototypes and first article inspection
  4. Qualification and approval according to your requirements
  5. Series production: manufacturing, assembly and testing

Are you certified for welding defence products?

Yes – our joining technologies are certified to DIN 2303, the German quality standard for welding of military products, in addition to IATF 16949 and ISO 9001.

Do you also produce prototypes and small series?

Yes – from prototypes and pre-series to series production. Tools come from our own toolmaking, which shortens lead times.

How do you handle confidential projects?

We sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving drawings and treat all project data confidentially.
