Engineering Precision for Protection and Performance

Cygnet Texkimp delivers advanced fibre and composite processing technologies to the global defence sector, supporting the manufacture of lightweight, durable, and high-performance materials used in mission-critical applications.

From armour systems and vehicle structures to personal protection and aerospace components, our machinery helps defence manufacturers meet strict performance, safety, and reliability requirements across land, sea, and air operations.

Cygnet Texkimp: Trusted engineering for the materials that protect, perform, and endure.

Trusted Partner to a Mission-Critical Industry

The defence industry demands absolute performance, traceability, and reliability — and Cygnet Texkimp has the expertise, engineering capability, and global reputation to deliver.

Our technologies are used worldwide to manufacture composite materials and components that offer superior impact resistance, structural integrity, and corrosion protection, while reducing overall weight and increasing operational efficiency.

With a heritage in fibre handling and precision process engineering, Cygnet Texkimp is uniquely positioned to design and supply equipment that meets the specific challenges of modern defence manufacturing — from controlled material processing to secure, automated handling and packaging.

Advanced Technologies for Defence Applications

We design and build customised machinery and integrated systems for the development and production of next-generation defence materials and structures, including:

  • Fibre Handling & Creel Systems – for controlled tension and reliable unwinding of sensitive fibres.

  • Prepreg & Tow Preg Lines – for creating high-strength, lightweight composite reinforcements.

  • Thermoplastic Processing Lines – enabling recyclable, impact-resistant materials for structural and protective applications.

  • Coating & Laminating Systems – for applying uniform resin or adhesive layers to fabrics and composite substrates.

  • Automation & Handling Solutions – for secure, precise, and repeatable material management and packaging.

These technologies enable defence manufacturers to improve performance, reduce weight, and enhance durability while maintaining compliance with military and NATO standards for traceability and process integrity.

Lightweight Strength, Built for Endurance

Cygnet Texkimp’s machinery plays a key role in the creation of advanced composites and technical fabrics used in a wide range of defence applications, such as:

  • Armoured vehicles and structural panels – combining lightweight construction with high ballistic protection.

  • Personal and protective equipment (PPE) – ensuring comfort, flexibility, and impact resistance.

  • Aircraft and UAV structures – lightweight, high-stiffness components for improved range and payload.

  • Naval and marine systems – corrosion-resistant composites for long-term performance in extreme conditions.

  • Personal and protective equipment (PPE) – ensuring comfort, flexibility, and impact resistance.

  • Aircraft and UAV structures – lightweight, high-stiffness components for improved range and payload.

  • Naval and marine systems – corrosion-resistant composites for long-term performance in extreme conditions.

By combining material science, mechanical engineering, and precision control, we help defence manufacturers achieve exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, improved survivability, and operational resilience.

Secure, Scalable, and Compliant

Every Cygnet Texkimp system is designed with the security, reliability, and compliance demanded by defence manufacturing.

Our machinery is engineered to operate within tightly regulated environments, providing controlled production, full traceability, and minimal human contact to ensure both quality assurance and data integrity.

Through modular, scalable system design, we offer solutions that can evolve alongside new defence material innovations, supporting manufacturers from pilot R&D projects to full-scale, classified production.
