Protection

Defence

Protecting those who protect us.

Our production is prepared for the requirements of the defence industry: In-depth material expertise, digitalised process chains, experienced Specialists, certifications and crane capacities of up to 10 tonnes enable us to process armour steels such as Armox with precision and process reliability.
We manufacture ready-to-install components, welded assemblies and special solutions for the defence industry on over 11,000 m² of covered production space – documented, traceable and on time. All processing steps are carried out in-house.

We stand for the production of safety-critical components with responsibility.

Manufacturing expertise for defence technology

Highest material expertise

More than 3,000 tonnes of high-strength steel are processed at Winkelbauer every year – our many years of experience with Hardox, Armox & Co. guarantee maximum process reliability.

More about component production

Dual-use experience

We realise protection solutions for security-relevant infrastructures, such as bullet-proof enclosures. We transfer this expertise specifically to defence applications.

OEM expertise

As a long-standing supplier to international machine manufacturers and the Austrian Armed Forces, we know the high demands of OEMs and authorities. We supply ready-to-install components, welded assemblies and complete system components – exactly to specification.

Customised protection solutions - from individual parts to series production

We realise customised components for military applications – from precise one-off production to welded assemblies suitable for series production. Our production is tailored to your tactical and technical requirements.

Where protection counts, we deliver solutions.

Whether bullet-proof enclosures for critical infrastructure or ready-to-install welded assemblies for the defence sector: our expertise in working with high-strength materials makes us the logical partner for safety-critical applications.

Exemplary applications:

  • Ballistic protection systems
  • Protective components for OEMs
  • Enclosures for sensitive infrastructures

 

More about our strengths
Our strengths at a glance

Certified according to DIN 2303 (class Q2):
We fulfil the requirements for welding production in the safety-relevant area – tested, documented and traceable.

  • Processing of Hardox and Armox:
    Whether wear-resistant or ballistic-protected – we master the processing of demanding steels at the highest level.
  • Over 6,000 tonnes of steel per year:
    Our material expertise is not based on theory, but on experience – in every tonne and every seam.
  • 140 Specialists with practical experience:
    A team of qualified specialists ensures precision, reliability and process-orientated work at industrial and military standards.
  • 100% Made in Austria:
    Our production takes place entirely at our site in Styria – for the highest quality standards, short distances and secure supply chains.

Components for protection, structure and function

Our production is designed for complex steel components and welded assemblies with high demands on precision and stability. Components weighing up to 10 tonnes each can be handled and processed in-house – from individual components to large-volume assemblies.
We manufacture high-strength components for civilian and dual-use applications, which also prove their worth in a military context – for example as outer skin, protective plates or structural parts in safety-critical systems.

More about our components

Expertise in defence

Typical components from our production:

  • Armoured outer skin parts and add-on elements
  • Structural panels and carrier systems made from Armox/Hardox
  • Welded frame constructions and carrier assemblies
  • Protective components for infrastructure (e.g. transformers) and mobile systems
  • Shooting ranges including protective equipment

All parts are manufactured according to customer specifications – with documented quality assurance, traceability down to the batch and, of course, final surface treatment.

Bearing responsibility

We believe in protecting our society – regardless of the level of threat.
Because security is not a luxury, but a basic requirement. That’s why we work on solutions that not only deliver technical excellence, but also offer long-term reliability. Together with partners from industry and the military.

“Nobody would think of abolishing the fire service just because there isn’t a fire at the moment.”
