Barum & Dewar is pleased to announce the successful delivery of 250 cases with bespoke foam inserts to the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Having previously supplied multiple protective packaging solutions to the MOD, we have an extensive understanding of their requirements and were able to fulfil the order two weeks ahead of schedule.

The MoD confirmed they were extremely impressed by the approach taken by our team and are delighted with the quality of the initial offering. For this specific requirement, Italian manufactured GT Line Explorer cases were chosen, fitted out with custom foam inserts manufactured and installed at our foam facility in Southampton.

Mark Speck, Regional Sales Manager, commented, “This is yet another example of our ability to exceed client expectations, delivering two weeks ahead of schedule and we look forward to supporting with additional solutions in the very near future”.

The protection of our clients’ and supply partners' data and information is of utmost importance to us, particularly given the highly sensitive industries we work in. Clients engaging with the company can rest assured that their data is protected against cyber threats, providing them with peace of mind in an increasingly digital world.

Barum & Dewar is pleased to announce a recent contract win, working alongside a leading solutions integrator, to supply 250 cases with bespoke foam inserts to the Ministry of Defence, with whom B&D has previously supplied multiple protective packaging solutions to.

The first case has been delivered for a test fit of the components it has been designed to carry and the MoD has confirmed they were extremely impressed by the approach taken by our team and are delighted with the quality of the initial offering.

For this specific requirement, Italian manufactured GT Line Explorer cases were chosen, fitted out with custom foam inserts manufactured and installed at our foam facility in Southampton.

Following a successful test fit into the first-off work is now underway to fulfil the remainder of the contract, which will be completed by the end of the year.

Mark Speck, Regional Sales Manager, commented, “Barum & Dewar has developed a reputation within the Defence sector for our proven ability to design innovative, cost effective and performance focussed product protection solutions and this project is no different. We were delighted to win this contract based on our service and cost-effective proposal for the client and look forward to developing our relationship and supporting with additional solutions in the very near future”.

Barum & Dewar is pleased to confirm successful completion of another project for long-term client Airbus at their Portsmouth base. Airbus required a suitable case for transporting their Waveguide Lens Antennas (WGLA) which weigh approximately 1200kg. The B&D team recommended our Delta style container for this specific requirement, fitted with an interface plate with wire mounts to minimise shock and vibration inputs during transportation. Additionally, a shallow base allows ease of access and loading for the hardware, while a multi-section lid can be removed in areas where there are height restrictions. The lid can also be removed manually, an added bonus for when mechanical lifting facilities are limited.

The main benefit of using the WGLA compared to a conventional dish is its ability to multi-satellite capture, which is beneficial from a cost perspective. Additionally, the WGLA is not impacted by other issues typically associated with antennas such as signal blocking and overheating.

Mark Speck, Regional Sales Manager, commented, “Barum & Dewar is proud to work with Airbus, a leader in the Defence & Space sector, supporting with protective packaging for their latest technical innovations. Our team have extensive knowledge of the Space sector and its complex challenges and are once again delighted to support the Airbus team on their protective packaging requirements.”
