Sovereign Australian Manufacturing for Defence Programs
OPIE Manufacturing Group partners with Australia's defence supply chain to manufacture precision fabricated components, welded assemblies and engineered systems for some of the country's most demanding projects.
From prototype development through to repeat production, our advanced manufacturing facility combines robotic laser welding, fibre laser processing, CNC machining and precision fabrication to deliver reliable, repeatable outcomes for defence contractors, system integrators and government projects.
Defence manufacturing demands far more than fabrication capability. Every component must be manufactured consistently, documented thoroughly and delivered on schedule. Reliability, traceability and quality assurance are fundamental requirements.
Since 1962, OPIE Manufacturing Group has developed advanced manufacturing capabilities that support complex defence programs requiring precision sheet metal fabrication, structural steelwork, CNC machining, robotic laser welding, protective finishing and complete mechanical assembly.
Operating from our Western Sydney manufacturing facility, we provide Australian-made manufacturing solutions supported by experienced engineers, designers and tradespeople working within an ISO-certified quality environment.
Whether producing one prototype or ongoing production batches, our focus remains the same: precision, quality and dependable delivery.
Our defence manufacturing capability includes:
Investment in advanced manufacturing equipment allows OPIE Manufacturing Group to produce components with exceptional consistency while reducing lead times and maintaining repeatability.
