Marine Defence

Whilst the equipment for the defence sector whether land, marine, air or orbital is diverse, the requirements from the required fasteners are similar in that the quality and material traceability are of a high level of traceability. The defence sector is traditionally one of BNM strongest sectors and its needs best describes our day to day capability. The defence sector is our “bread and butter”.

Non-disclosure agreements are a pre-requisite for the defence sector which also demands, quick and on-time delivery, a high level of skilled workmanship, verification of dimensional controls and full material traceability with routine chemical, mechanical & non-destructive testing to pre-audited procedures. Items tend to be low volume and based on either established British & international standard or totally unique.

BNM also offers raw materials from stock which have been tested and certified according to defence standards such as Def-Stan 02-862, Def-Stan 02-791, Def-Stan 02-833 & Def-Stan 02-848.
