Traceability & compliance

Every lot documented, from raw material to delivery.

On ammunition programmes, a component is only as good as the record that follows it. Material certificates, treatment records and inspection results are documented lot by lot, and every delivery ships with its quality documentation. Sensitive components are stored and handled in a secured building with controlled access, monitored day and night by a security company. Technical data are circulated on a restricted basis, a documented and regularly tested disaster recovery plan (DRP) covers production as well as IT systems, and enquiries are handled under NDA on request.
