Industry 04
Defence
Rugged enclosures and load-bearing components for equipment that has to work in demanding environments, year after year.
The challenge
Defence-related programmes run over long periods and need suppliers who stay in business, keep the process stable and can document what was done. Demands on ruggedness, temperature range and environmental resistance are also higher than in most civil applications.
What we do
We deliver cast, machined and surface-treated enclosures with traceability and a frozen process. The segment has grown strongly for us since 2023 and is today one of our prioritised business areas.
We do not comment on individual customers, products or programmes within this segment. Contact us directly for a confidential discussion.
Requirements we meet
- Traceability and a documented, frozen process
- Rugged design for vibration and temperature cycling
- Surface treatment suited to harsh environments
- Long-term tool maintenance and supply security
- Confidentiality around product and customer relationship
Typical parts

Die casting
The foundry machine park allows us to produce parts from 5 grams up to around 25 kilos. Clamping forces range from 320 to 1,850 tonnes. All casting cells are robot-tended, which secures high productivity, flexibility and quality.
CNC machining
Our machining department runs both vertical and horizontal machining centres with up to 40 tool stations each. For efficient, high-quality precision work we also have multi-tasking lathes with driven tools.
Surface treatment
Proal has broad knowledge of surface treatment methods for die-cast aluminium: blasting, tumbling, ball polishing and complete chromating with subsequent powder coating. Together with you we find the solution that best fits the need.
Assembly
We deliver finished products, not semi-finished parts. Manual finishing, pad printing, balancing of parts with high rotational speed requirements, sub-assembly and packaging — all to your specification.

Got a drawing?
Send it over. You will get a technical assessment and an indicative price from someone who will actually make the part — not from a sales organisation.
We accept STEP, IGES, 3D models and 2D drawings. Confidentiality goes without saying.
