Macrodyne designs and builds advanced press systems and turnkey automation for demanding defense production environments.
With operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Germany through DUNKES, we are set up to support customers based on where their program is located, how it is funded and what compliance path is required.
Our equipment supports applications including ballistic panels, body armour, propellant extrusion, helmet forming, ship and submarine components, superplastic forming for aerospace structures, barrel straightening, and 155 mm artillery projectile manufacturing.
For U.S. customers, Macrodyne USA provides a domestic contracting path with CAGE Code registration, ITAR registration and small business status.
For European partners, Canada’s participation in the EU SAFE framework creates a clearer route for Canadian companies and Canadian-origin products to support eligible European defense procurement programs. DUNKES also provides German manufacturing capability and non-ITAR supply options for applicable programs.
Armor Manufacturing
Our hydraulic presses are instrumental in the manufacturing of high-strength body, vehicle and building armor components, providing the necessary force and precision to shape and form materials that meet stringent defense standards.
Aerospace Components
Precision and reliability are crucial in aerospace applications. Our fully automated press lines ensure that every component meets the exacting specifications for performance and safety required by the industry.
Weaponry and Ammunition
From small arms to heavy artillery, we are experienced in presses that are designed to handle the complex and safe manufacturing processes required for producing weaponry, ammunition and propellants.
Shipbuilding Components
In shipbuilding, precision and strength are paramount. Our hydraulic presses are essential in the production of large structural components such as bulkheads, hull sections, and other critical parts. These presses ensure that each piece meets the stringent durability and safety standards required for military naval vessels.
Submarine Components
Submarines operate under extreme conditions, requiring components that can withstand immense pressure and stress. Our hydraulic presses play a crucial role in forming pressure hull sections, bulkheads, and other vital parts with the precision and reliability necessary for deep-sea operations.
Ballistic Panels & Shields Manufacturing
Our hydraulic presses are vital in the production of ballistic panels and shields, which are key to personal protection gear and vehicle armoring. These presses provide the necessary force and accuracy to shape materials into high-strength, impact-resistant components that meet rigorous defense standards.
Vehicle Parts
Durability and precision are key in manufacturing vehicle parts for military applications. Our hydraulic presses deliver consistent results for components such as chassis, frames, engine components and structural elements.
