With first article approval finalised, Trimcast Products will start supplying the Trunk Lockers to the ADF under a new 3 year standing offer.
This will continue a 22 year supply story for one of Australia's long standing packaging solutions supplier to the Department of Defence.
All new ADF recruits are provided with trunk lockers. They are also required for moving equipment in and out of operational environments.
"It's terrific to be able to announce this news here at the Avalon Airshow. This is a great milestone to achieve and a testament to the hard work and commitment by all of our staff at our Victorian Knoxfield facility," says Christian Nyman, Managing Director of Pelican Products Australia. "All 70 staff in our team should be proud of what they have helped to achieve. Whether it is manufacturing the trunk locker or designing mission critical packaging solutions for land, sea or air systems, weapons or sensitive electronics, we take great pride in knowing we are assisting in helping to ultimately support the warfighter and our protectors."
Justin Evans, Pelican-Trimcast Technical Sales Manager commented, "It is also important to acknowledge the support we receive from AIDN Victoria, the Victorian State Govt's Defence Industry Unit and DMO's Business Access Office. They are always available to offer advice when requested and are a great resource."
Trimcast Products began operating in 1979, and started supplying their first trunk locker to the ADF in 1991. In the last 34 years they have created over 1,200 NSN-coded packaging solutions for all manner of ADF platforms and capabilities, many of which are now exported to foreign militaries.
In 2011 the company was acquired by Pelican Products Australia - the global leader in design and manufacture of both high-performance protective case solutions and advanced portable lighting systems.
With a growing international Defence and Commercial client base the future looks promising for Trimcast Products. Christian Nyman concludes, "In 2013 we have some exciting new products and new equipment scheduled to come on line. This will ensure the company's capability grows commensurate with our customers' needs and we are able to provide the best service available in the market."
