PE Composites’ advanced composite design and manufacture meets the most stringent of defence performance criteria, whether the ultimate application is for aerospace, naval or land forces, where the demands placed on components are extreme.
Integrating an advanced composite structure manufacturer at an early stage of defence projects can ensure the maximum benefits of innovations in composite material design and manufacture. That way, requirements such as stealth characteristics and corrosion elimination can be achieved.
Patrick Engineering Limited has operated within the UK and international defence sector for over 50 years, ever since the acquisition of the design and Glass Reinforced Plastics (GRP) manufacturing capability from J Samuel White & Co in the 1950s. The company continues today under the name of PE Composites Limited.
Today many of our defence customers are global leaders in defence contracting. We supply the UK armed forces with components for the Astute Class nuclear submarine and thermal insulators for the balancer on the M777 155mm lightweight field howitzer.
With our comprehensive onsite test facilities, which include hydrostatic pressure test vessels, we can ensure that the smart materials solutions we provide for defence applications meet the most demanding of specifications.
