COMPANY OVERVIEW

Bale Defence Engineering Systems is an Australian family run business with over 45 years in the Defence sector.

Our design office and manufacturing facility has an outstanding reputation for quality in the work we deliver to the Navy, Army & Special Forces. We truly engineer the unconventional, with a team of Engineers, Machinists, Fitters & Fabricators on site to offer a fully integrated solution from design through to product delivery.

We develop proprietary product to meet a capability gap where nothing else like it exists on the market (e.g. RTV2, BARR-A). We adapt quickly to a specific customer requirement from concept, to prototype through qualification to full scale production and on to through life support
