Craig International Ballistics

We were honoured to host Major General Jason Blain, DSC, AM, CSC, Head of Land Systems, at Craig International Ballistics (CIB) during his recent visit to our manufacturing facility. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our state-of-the-art operations and discuss our ongoing commitment to delivering cutting-edge ballistic protection solutions for the Australian Defence Force. Major General Blain's engagement with our team not only provided valuable insights but also reinforced the importance of our sovereign manufacturing capability.   This visit coincided with a significant milestone for the ADF and CIB, as we celebrated the production of our 1,000th batch of SCE Protection Elements. We are immensely proud of this achievement over two decades and grateful for the long-term support of our products.   Together, we continue to innovate and develop solutions to enhance the ballistic protection of our warfighters.

No one, ever, has woken up thinking 'I wonder if today's the day a short red-head who could be mistaken for The Paddle Pop Lion will come and take my photograph while I'm at work today?' Of course not. When you get deep in to the guts of Australian Manufacturing you find people who are exceptionally humble. They're too busy applying their enormous skills creating and delivering quality products to think about photographers. Even photographers who look like they've been attacked by a possum. Take James Craig and his team at Craig International Ballistics. I've been filming and photographing there for a decade now. I can't tell you the amount of times I've captured new tech, new products, new equipment or new processes that are *literally* bleeding edge. Not only that, they have the BIGGEST AUTOCLAVE I'VE EVER SEEN! And, very soon, will have the LARGEST PRESS I'VE EVER SEEN. It really is quite incredible the way James, Andy, Michaela and the team have grown to equip defence & emergency responders (globally!) with the highest quality product on the market today. Australian manufacturing punches well above its weight - Craig International Ballistics is just one example of that. #AusManufacturing #QualityProduct #THEBIGGESTAUTOCLAVEEVER #PaddlePopLion
