Mission Critical Protection for High Value Assets
In the defence and aerospace sectors, the definition of “protection” goes far beyond simple storage. When you are responsible for maintaining a fighter jet, deploying a communications unit to a hostile environment, or transporting sensitive guidance systems, the packaging you use becomes a critical component of mission readiness. At PottertonPacs, we understand that in these industries, equipment failure is simply not an option.
We specialise in designing and manufacturing high performance protective solutions that withstand the most extreme conditions on Earth. From the flight line to the front line, our custom designed packaging ensures that your assets arrive intact, calibrated, and ready for immediate deployment.
Engineering for Extreme Environments
Standard shipping cases shatter under the intense pressure of military operations. This is why defence contractors, government agencies, and technical teams rely on our Mil Spec equipment cases. These are not just tough boxes; they are engineered systems designed to meet rigorous defense standards. Whether it is resistance to water ingress, protection against fine sand and dust, or the ability to survive high impact drops from transport vehicles, our cases are built to perform.
We work closely with procurement teams to select the exact outer shell material, whether that is rotomoulded plastic for maximum impact absorption or aluminium for weight reduction, and pair it with precision engineered foam interiors. This ensures that even the most delicate avionics or optical equipment remains completely secure, regardless of the terrain it travels across.
Aviation Maintenance & Tool Control
In the aerospace industry, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) is a constant threat. A single loose socket or screwdriver left inside an aircraft engine or avionics bay can cause catastrophic failure and cost millions in damage. To combat this risks, we provide advanced FOD tool control foam solutions specifically for aviation maintenance crews.
Using dual colour “shadow boarding,” we cut the foam to fit every specific tool in a technician’s kit. When a tool is removed, a bright contrasting colour is revealed underneath. This allows for an instant visual inventory. A supervisor can look at an open case and know within seconds if a tool is missing. This simple yet effective packaging solution increases individual accountability, speeds up shift handovers, and significantly improves safety on the flight line.
Global Logistics and Deployment
Logistics is the backbone of any successful operation. Moving equipment from a depot in the UK to a forward operating base requires packaging that is stackable, pallet friendly, and easy to handle. Our military transit cases are designed with these complex logistics in mind. We include essential features like pressure relief valves for air transport, recessed hardware to prevent snagging during loading, and heavy duty castors for mobility on rough ground.
For large scale deployments, consistency is key. We have the manufacturing capacity to produce thousands of identical cases for fleet wide rollouts. This ensures that every unit in the field, regardless of its global location, benefits from the same high standard of protection.
Partnering for Procurement
We know that defence procurement is complex. You need a supplier who can navigate the technical requirements while delivering on time and within budget. As a UK manufacturer, we offer full traceability and control over the production process. We work directly with your engineering teams to prototype and test designs before full scale manufacturing begins, ensuring total confidence in the final product.
