Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) Certification
B&C Plastics is a DISP-certified Australian manufacturer of precision plastic and polymer components for the defence sector. Designed, tooled and made on-shore, our parts deliver the precision, reliability and quality that defence applications demand — backed by full traceability and the highest security standards.
How we support the industry
Defence work demands more than a good part — it demands security, precision, certified quality, and sovereign supply.
We work with defence primes, SMEs and equipment manufacturers to deliver onshore, traceable, defence-ready components — from prototype to volume production.
Certified quality, safety and environment
Sovereign, Australian-made
Precision to tight tolerances
Secure and fully traceable (DISP)
From concept to market
Design & Development
On-shore design of defence-specific plastic and polymer parts
Rapid prototyping for testing, evaluation and acceptance (around a 5-week lead time for design development and samples)
Design for Manufacture (DFM) with full part traceability
Manufacturing
Tight-tolerance injection moulding (to ±0.1 mm)
Volumes from a single unit to 1,000,000,000+
Consistent, repeatable production backed by certified quality systems
Inspection & Assembly
Post-production inspection using CMM and metrology
Multi-component assembly and finishing
Colour matching to any Pantone or custom standard
Problem Solving Through Engineering
We solve the technical and supply-chain challenges defence projects face.
- On-shore design and manufacture of internationally-made defence parts
- Reducing reliance on overseas supply chains through sovereign capability
- Injection moulding to ±0.1 mm and CNC to ±0.01 mm
- Verified with CMM and metrology inspection
- Metal-replacement engineering polymers in place of machined metal
- Consolidating multiple parts into single moulded components
- DISP-certified handling and processes
- Full part traceability across every production run

Our Services
-
On-shore design and rapid prototyping for testing, evaluation and acceptance into mass manufacture — typically a 5-week lead time for design development and samples, including detailed 3D modelling, technical drawings and DFM.
-
Onshore production of defence-specific plastic and polymer components — including parts previously made internationally — with full part traceability and certified quality systems.
-
We manufacture a wide range of defence components, including:
Storage containers for ammunition, weapons and equipment, and ammunition crates
Hard plastic, IoT and electronics enclosures
Uniform and equipment hardware and trims (buckles, clips, strap adjusters)
Small-equipment mounting solutions
Missile componentry and parts
Polymer small- and medium-arms components (e.g. lower receivers, frames, grips, buttstocks, foregrips, optic mounts)
Why Defence Chooses B&C Plastics
DISP-certified
Membership of the Defence Industry Security Program reflects our commitment to the highest security standards in the sector.
Sovereign, Australian-made
We design, tool and manufacture in-house and on-shore, giving you supply certainty, quality control and shorter lead times.
Precision engineering
Tight-tolerance moulding and machining, verified by CMM and metrology, for parts where accuracy is critical.
Triple ISO-certified
Quality (9001), safety (45001) and environmental (14001) systems, third-party certified by BSI for consistency and traceability.
Collaborative, end-to-end capability
Industrial designers, toolmakers and engineers working with you from concept through to certified production.
Built for the Mission
From rapid prototyping to sovereign volume production, we help defence partners bring reliable, traceable components to the field.
