Precision Fasteners for the Defence Industry
We supply high-integrity, fully traceable fasteners for defence vehicles, vessels, and critical systems; engineered for performance in mission-critical environments.
Built for mission-critical environments
From submarines and surface ships to armoured vehicles and support equipment, our fasteners are designed to perform in some of the most demanding operational conditions. We do not supply munitions or weapons systems. Our focus is on structural and mechanical fasteners for defence-grade engineering.
Typical applications include:
- Subsea and surface vessel assemblies
- Vehicle chassis, engine and transmission systems
- High-vibration and pressure environments
- Corrosion-prone marine and coastal deployments

ISO 9001-certified processes
Our rigorous quality management system ensures that everything we produce meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.

UK and EU-sourced materials
We source our materials locally to guarantee safety, compliance, reliability, and sustainability.

Exotic alloy expertise
We specialise in materials designed to withstand the most challenging environments, such as seawater corrosion, chemical applications and extreme pressures.

Full traceability
Our manufacturing processes include comprehensive documentation, ensuring every component is traceable from raw material to finished product.
Compliance, quality & full traceability
Quality is non-negotiable in defence manufacturing. That’s why every fastener we produce comes with complete material and process traceability, supported by ISO 9001 certification. Our robust quality control ensures compliance with defence procurement standards and customer-specific requirements.
We offer:
- Full documentation and inspection reports
- Chemical and mechanical test certificates
- Batch traceability from raw material to finished component
- UK/EU sourced materials
Engineered for reliability under pressure
