Products for Military, Defense and Security Applications

The material characteristics of composites are ideally suited to military, defense and security products. MFG has a strong record of successfully building FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) products for government agencies such as DARPA as well as prime and sub-contractors.

Defense customers place high value on our key strengths: outside-the-box problem solving, weight reduction, corrosion resistance, part consolidation and prototyping. Supplier selection criteria often includes order flexibility – and our network of facilities allows us to deliver on that as well.

With a gamut of advanced materials and processes, we can support specific requirements for appearance, aerodynamics, durability and weight. Our involvement in other demanding industries bolsters the value we bring to defense customers. (LEARN MORE: download case study examples at bottom of this page)
