Defence

A Market Leader in the Defence Industry for 30 Years

We design rubber products for military vehicles, including tanks and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), and submarines.

Our highly skilled and experienced technical teams develop customised rubber solutions for the defence market. We work to national and international military specifications and have complete technical and engineering resources to support state-of-the-art manufacturing. Our ISO 9001 quality system ensures top performance and reliability.

As problem solvers, we are flexible and understand the importance of resolving performance issues, often within tight time frames. Whether it's a large-volume manufacturing run or a one-off special, we always provide the same high level of expertise and commitment.

Nufox Rubber products are used on modern military vehicles, including AFVs, HGVs, aircraft carriers, and submarines. Our range includes hatch seals, inflatable seals, fighting vehicle seal trims, and moulded rubber parts that assist with vibration and sound dampening.

Seals for an Aircraft Carrier Deck Lift

As part of our portfolio, we were commissioned to create seals for a deck lift on an aircraft carrier. The design had to ensure a watertight seal to prevent water ingress from the deck to the leading boat during regular operation at sea.

Our technical team developed two seals, each over 45m long and provided endlessly. The primary seal is a lip seal that always remains in contact with the lift, forming a seal. We also designed an inflatable seal as a secondary seal to provide a complete seal. Both items were shipped abroad to the aircraft carrier, along with our technician, and installed during a refit.

These seals are currently fitted to several in-service aircraft carriers in the navies of various countries.
