Defence

Craft Fibreglass provides end-to-end composite manufacturing and repair services tailored for defence applications. All work is completed in-house at our Sydney manufacturing facility, allowing us to maintain full control over quality, materials, security and delivery timelines.

We support defence projects through:

• Composite and fibreglass component manufacturing

• Defence equipment housings and protective structures

• Interior and exterior composite parts

• Repair, refurbishment and life-extension services

• Prototype development and small-batch production

• Ongoing supply support for legacy and active platforms

Our flexible production capability allows us to support both new programs and in-service platforms requiring ongoing maintenance or replacement parts, without reliance on offshore manufacturing.

As an experienced defence composites manufacturer, Craft Fibreglass specialises in fibreglass reinforced plastic (FRP) solutions that offer strength, corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to traditional materials. By manufacturing locally in Australia, we ensure consistent standards, traceability and dependable supply.

Fibreglass and composite materials are widely used across defence platforms due to their performance advantages. Our team designs and manufactures composite components that meet strict dimensional, structural and environmental requirements.

We manufacture defence fibreglass components that deliver:

• Long-term durability in harsh conditions

• Resistance to corrosion, moisture and chemicals

• Reduced maintenance requirements

• Lightweight strength for improved performance

• Consistent quality across repeat production

Each component is engineered to suit its specific application, whether installed in vehicles, vessels, facilities or support equipment.

In addition to new manufacturing, Craft Fibreglass provides professional repair and refurbishment services for defence equipment and assets. These services are delivered locally from our Sydney facility, supporting faster turnaround times and improved asset availability.

This allows defence operators to extend service life, reduce downtime and manage costs effectively.

Our defence repair services include:

• Structural fibreglass repairs

• Composite panel replacement

• Surface restoration and refinishing

• Damage assessment and repair planning

• Reinforcement upgrades where required

All repair work is carried out using controlled, Australian-based processes to ensure restored components meet performance and safety expectations.

Quality and compliance are central to everything we do within defence manufacturing Australia. We operate under strict quality control systems and follow disciplined manufacturing processes within our Sydney facility to ensure consistency, security and reliability.

Our defence manufacturing framework includes:

• Controlled material selection and traceability

• Documented production processes

• Dimensional and structural quality checks

• Surface finish and durability inspections

• Repair validation and testing where required

We understand the importance of documentation, reporting and compliance when working within defence supply chains and provide supporting information as required for project assurance.

Craft Fibreglass is 100% Australian owned, with all defence manufacturing and repair work completed locally in Sydney. This Australian-made approach is a key advantage for defence programs that require secure, reliable and traceable local supply.

Manufacturing locally allows us to:

• Maintain strict quality and security control

• Support Australian defence supply chains

• Reduce reliance on offshore manufacturing

• Deliver faster response times and lead times

• Ensure compliance with local standards and expectations

Our commitment to Australian manufacturing supports national capability while delivering dependable outcomes for defence partners.

As a trusted defence industry supplier Australia, Craft Fibreglass values confidentiality, reliability and long-term partnerships. Operating locally allows us to work closely with defence primes, government agencies and system integrators while maintaining secure workflows.

Our team is experienced in working within controlled environments and shows a strong understanding of defence project workflows, approval processes and communication protocols.

Clients value our ability to:

• Meet strict delivery timelines

• Maintain consistent quality

• Support both short-term and long-term programs

• Respond quickly to repair or replacement needs

• Adapt to evolving project requirements

This reliability makes us a trusted Australian supplier for ongoing defence work.

We work closely with defence primes, engineers and project teams throughout the manufacturing and repair process. Our Sydney-based operations enable direct collaboration and faster technical response.

Our collaboration includes:

• Design and specification review

• Material and process selection support

• Prototype development where required

• Ongoing communication during production

• Support for in-service platforms

This approach ensures smooth delivery and dependable outcomes.

We partner with infrastructure planners, architects, engineers and contractors from concept to installation. Our collaborative process includes:

Design Consultation – We review technical drawings, equipment models and site conditions to determine the best FRP solution.

CAD & Engineering – Our technicians create digital models, assess load and environmental factors and recommend the right resin and reinforcement system.

Tooling & Mould Creation – Precision moulds ensure repeatable accuracy and consistent quality across all supplied components.

Manufacturing – Using hand lay‑up, vacuum infusion or closed mould techniques, we manufacture FRP components suited to the required strength, durability and application needs.

Finishing & Quality Control – Each product undergoes trimming, finishing and inspection. Options include colour matching, textured surfaces, anti‑graffiti coatings and steel mounting hardware integration.

Delivery & Support – We provide installation guidance, technical documents and flexible delivery options for projects across Australia.

Craft Fibreglass supports both new defence programs and legacy platforms requiring ongoing support. Our ability to reverse-engineer components, create custom tooling and manufacture replacement parts locally allows us to extend the service life of existing assets.

This is particularly valuable for platforms where original parts are no longer available or where upgrades are required to improve performance or durability.
