Defence

MRT are an established casting partner to leading Defence OEMs and their Tier One suppliers. 

Our defence castings include fighting vehicle components, hand controllers, communications and navigation systems, and enclosures for electronic control systems. 

We are well acquainted with the detailed specifications, rigorous validation and process control requirements of the defence industry, and have highly robust systems in place to control materials, change management and component certification. 

Client quality teams are always welcome to visit our world-class manufacturing facilities for audits and manufacturing reviews. 

During component development MRT offer industry leading simulation and design tools to optimise your component for manufacture.  This cuts development time and minimises design changes after initial sampling.  We are well acquainted with the challenging schedules of the defence sector, and our practical, flexible approach makes us an ideal partner.

Continuous investment in our UK foundry and CNC machining facility has positioned MRT among the most technically advanced and highly flexible diecasting facilities in Europe for the production of defence and security components.   

Our combination of diecasting and CNC machining provides the speed and economy of casting, and the precision and repeatability of machining. 

High pressure aluminium diecasting is ideal for rugged enclosures for defence electronics.  It offers excellent cosmetic finish, strength and durability, along with heatsink properties for electronic applications.

A comprehensive range of surface finishing processes ensures MRT can provide a one-stop-shop for finished cast components complete and ready for your assembly line. 

Our flexible manufacturing processes, and can-do approach ensure we can respond quickly to changes in demand, or for compressed time-scales on product launches.
