Welcoming Arican Advisory: Strengthening Our Defence Strategy
Welcoming Arican Advisory: Strengthening Our Defence Strategy
It was our pleasure to welcome Mark Stevens (Managing Director) and Peter Davis (Non-executive Director) from Arican Advisory and Capital to our South Brisbane facility for an insightful and strategic session.
Building Defence Capability Through Partnership
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to learn more about how Arican Advisory and Capital can support B&C Plastics' journey into the Defence sector. Together, we explored how to further align our capabilities and structure our internal strategy to position B&C as a strategic product development and manufacturing partner to the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
We also gained greater clarity on how Army and CASG (Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group) are structured, providing key insights that will help refine our approach moving forward.
Exploring Defence Programs and Opportunities
The discussion covered several significant Defence programs, including:
LAND 125 Phase 4 – Integrated Soldier Systems
Joint Project 2060 – Deployable Health Infrastructure
LAND 159 – Weapons and Lethality Systems
LAND 8140 – Deployable Infrastructure
We also touched on various prime contractors and tendering entities such as Babcock, SAAB, NIOA, Rheinmetall, and L3Harris, examining how we can align and engage with these supply chains.
Showcasing Our Sovereign Capabilities
To close out the session, our Defence Lead Barclay Anderson guided a tour of our manufacturing hub, where we showcased our sovereign capabilities, production capacity, and end-to-end design and manufacturing services.
This hands-on demonstration reinforced our readiness and adaptability to support Defence and other high-spec industry projects.
Looking Ahead
We’re incredibly grateful to Arican Advisory and Capital for their time and guidance. This meeting marked another important step in strengthening our Defence strategy and reinforces our commitment to becoming a trusted, capable partner in the sovereign Defence supply chain.
At B&C Plastics, we are focused on delivering smart, scalable, and sustainable manufacturing solutions—and Defence is a natural fit for the quality and reliability we offer.
