Flexible custom production for the defense industry

Reliable partner in the supply chain

As an experienced supplier, we deliver customer-specific laser-cut sheet steel components, as well as formed components and 3D laser-cut steel profiles.

Depending on requirements, we produce both semi-finished products and fully custom-designed and ready-to-install subassemblies.

Our years of experience as a supply chain partner underscore our role as a reliable link and our ability to deliver high-quality, precise components for demanding defense projects.

Robust sheet metal solutions

Our core expertise aligns seamlessly with the requirements of the defense market and lies in cutting and bending thick sheet material (4–40 mm) and processing long sheets up to 6 meters using heavy press brakes up to 1,000 tons.

These capabilities make us ideally suited for robust, structural, and protective defense applications.

Products for defense projects must meet specific hardness and toughness requirements. Temperature resistance and corrosion resistance also play a role.

This makes defense work specialized, as you work with different alloys with varying properties. Examples include:

• High-strength steel;

• Wear-resistant materials;

• Non-ferrous alloys (such as stainless steel and aluminum)

WBM tackles your project

Why choose WBM to manufacture your project design for the defense industry?

We are ISO 9001 certified

An important foundation for the military sector, security, and defense. In addition, WBM also holds an environmental certificate: ISO 14001.

We contribute ideas during the design phase

WBM has been a specialist in product manufacturability for over 55 years. If you involve us in the design process, we look at factors that work to your advantage. This includes reversing machining operations or modifying the product to reduce welding and increase the strength of the sheet metal.

This form of co-creation is our strength; it helps our customers achieve a seamless integration with their production process.

Solution-oriented sparring on weight reduction

Weight is always a point of attention for manufacturers of defense vehicles. Weight plays a role in maneuverability, wear and tear, fuel consumption, and strategic and tactical mobility.

As an experienced supplier of semi-finished products, we are happy to help explore how parts can be made lighter. We also do this in other sectors where weight reduction is paramount, such as transport. You can therefore count on an experienced sparring partner!
