Security of supply is key to the success of defence-related projects. Goodwin Steel Castings’ long term vision and continued investment delivers supply capabilities that are unsurpassed.
We are regarded by both new and long standing customers as a critical path supplier, where real value is added to complex programmes. Through early engagement in terms of Design for Manufacture (DFM) and performance reviews in the form of Learning from Experience (LFE), we assist our customers with reduced cost of acquisitions as a result of improved manufacturability, where it is possible to incorporate our proposals.
Our experience and expertise extends to the supply of finish machined castings for the most technologically advanced and prestigious programmes globally, under Manufacturing License Agreements (MLA) and Technical Assistance Agreements (TAA) for Navies around the world.
Goodwin Steel Castings has employees who are Security Cleared (SC) and Developed Vetted (DV), along with secure offline facilities, enabling the execution of classified programmes.
