Macrodyne will be attending the NDIA Munitions Executive Summit, taking place March 17–18, 2026, in Parsippany, New Jersey.
Hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association, the summit brings together senior defense leaders, program managers and industry partners to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of munitions production and industrial capacity.
The event focuses on strengthening the defense industrial base, scaling ammunition production, modernizing manufacturing infrastructure, and improving supply chain resilience across NATO-aligned manufacturing networks.
Manufacturing Systems for Munitions Production
Macrodyne designs and builds press and automation systems used in the forming, forging and manufacturing of large-caliber munitions components and other defense products.
Our engineered press technologies support a wide range of defense manufacturing applications, including:
- Forging Presses – Large-caliber artillery shells, structural components, and drive systems
- Deep Draw Presses – Shell bodies, pressure vessels, and precision metal forming
- Compaction Presses – Energetics, explosives, and advanced ceramic materials
- Extrusion Presses – Seamless tubing, propellant components, and specialty alloys
- Straightening Presses – Gun barrels, shafts, and large cylindrical components
- Heated Platen Presses – Ballistic panels, composite structures, and armor systems
- Cryofracture Presses – Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and demilitarization operations
- Hydroforming and Fluid Cell Presses – Aerospace and defense structural components
Turnkey Automation and System Integration
Macrodyne provides fully integrated press and automation systems, supporting defense manufacturers from concept and engineering through commissioning and production ramp-up.
Integrated systems often include:
- Robotics and automated material handling
- PLC, motion, and safety control systems
- In-line inspection and process monitoring
- MES connectivity and production traceability
This single-source approach reduces integration risk, simplifies project management, and supports stable, repeatable production in high-demand manufacturing environments.
