Cartwright added: “Our Wallingford team has supplied this specialized application over many years. This order confirms the continued relevance of our PEM technology and manufacturing capabilities.”

The company said the order reflects growing momentum for its technology in defence applications, where reliability, operational resilience, and a long service life are paramount.
