Plastic solutions for the Defence industry
Plastics for safe and reliable defence solutions
Safety is a matter of trust. If there is a need for ballistic safety in and around buildings, vehicles, ships and containers, we must be able to rely at all times on the ballistic protection materials used. Whether the required protection is against shots, blasts, shattering, fire or burglary, there is absolutely no room for compromise. We offer a large selection of composites and thermoplastic ballistic protection materials. They are used in civil and military applications on every continent.
The following also applies: we test our materials under realistic conditions and continuously develop them further. In addition, our materials comply with all relevant international ballistic standards.
Beyond our ballistic product range like lightweight armor materials, we also supply structural defence materials, e.g. high-performance profiles, wound components, and a wide variety of engineered plastic parts designed for demanding applications in the defence sector. These solutions complement our materials portfolio and enable customers to benefit from robust, lightweight, and application-ready components tailored to their operational requirements.
We are more than a normal materials supplier for defence industry - we deliver engineering plastics for defence systems.
As a member of the BDSV, we network with leading companies in the German security and defence industry in order to contribute our expertise in a targeted manner, promote exchange and jointly strengthen security and performance.
Your advantages
For more than 100 years we have specialized in the processing of plastics. Today, our product range is comprised of more than 350 different types of thermoplastic and composite materials, with a variety of modifications and special developments available. We are happy to advise you on the selection of suitable materials specifically for your needs.
Our portfolio range
Our portfolio for the defence sector brings together a targeted range of high-performance plastic solutions.
