Custom Profiles for Protection Systems

Drawing on over 100 years of manufacturing excellence, we deliver high-performance protection systems for armored vehicles, frigates, and submarines. Our specialized system components and ballistic and sandwich grille systems utilize advanced hot extrusion, quenching, tempering, and precision machining to neutralize threats. By integrating specialty compounds like armored steel, aramid, and polyurethane, we reduce system weight while maintaining high ballistic integrity and radar signature management.

These capabilities are powered by a strategic global synergy: custom engineered shapes are manufactured at our U.S. extrusion facility before being laminated at our international site, Plymouth® Schwerter Technik. This seamless workflow leverages domestic metallurgical quality to meet the most rigorous defense specifications.
