Barum & Dewar is proud to confirm a repeat production order from Dynamic Load Monitoring (DLM) for the supply of additional cases and foams used to protect their shackle and tensile test kits.

This long-standing collaboration began with a requirement for a robust and professional transit solution capable of withstanding harsh working environments, while presenting DLM’s load cell products in a well-organised, high-quality format.

Partnering with trusted supplier Peli, and using our in-house foam production facility, we delivered a tailored solution that continues to perform in demanding environments such as offshore, marine, and subsea industries.

The continued repeat orders reflect DLM’s confidence in our product quality, customer service, and local support, and we are proud to continue delivering value for this highly respected client.

Barum & Dewar is delighted to confirm a new contract with valued client Smiths Detection, based in Hemel Hempstead. Under this latest agreement, we will continue to supply bespoke transit cases and protective foams for the safe and secure delivery of critical security equipment.

Smiths Detection’s systems play a vital role in protecting the public at UK airports and ports, and as such, it is imperative that equipment arrives “ready to go, straight out of the box”. Our solution ensures full protection in transit while delivering the clean, professional finish demanded by the application.

This packaging solution is one of four different products Barum & Dewar currently supplies to Smiths Detection, with deliveries being made on a regular monthly schedule to keep pace with demand. We are proud to once again be trusted to deliver solutions that support national infrastructure and public safety.

Barum & Dewar is delighted to confirm a further contract award from long-standing client Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL).

This latest project will once again see previously supplied transit containers being given a new lease of life. As SSTL continues to evolve its satellite products, Barum & Dewar has been asked to modify the original containers to support larger payloads by incorporating innovative new spacer sections, increasing overall container height while maintaining stability and performance.

In addition to the structural modifications, Barum & Dewar will also be taking the opportunity to review and update the original lifting features on the container bases. These revisions will ensure full compliance with the latest handling standards demanded across the UK space sector.

The project is scheduled for completion in summer 2025, and once again highlights Barum & Dewar’s ability to deliver practical, high-performing solutions that extend the operational life of existing assets while adapting to new technical requirements.

Barum & Dewar is pleased to confirm the successful delivery of two further orders from long-standing client Parker Hannifin for their Iveco tool kit cases and bespoke foam inserts.

Originally designed in close collaboration with Parker’s Instrumentation Products Division, the case solution needed to be compact, robust, and visually striking to meet the requirements of a major European truck manufacturer. The end result – a black case with precision-routed black and yellow foam inserts, complete with laser-engraved profiles – was extremely well received and has since resulted in multiple follow-up orders.

We are delighted to have once again been favoured with a repeat order and value the continued trust Parker Hannifin places in our team to deliver on time and to specification for this time-sensitive project.
