About The Company
IronClad Systems is an Ahmedabad-based defence contractor that needed a domestic manufacturing partner capable of producing tactical equipment components to MIL-STD-810G environmental testing standards with full NABL-accredited testing.
The Challenge
Defence manufacturing requires the highest levels of quality, security, and traceability — limiting available manufacturing partners.
- 1,200+ components across 42 unique part numbers in titanium, hardened steel, and 17-4 PH stainless
- Every part required full dimensional inspection and material certification with heat lot traceability
- NABL-accredited testing mandatory for all deliverables
- ITAR-sensitive design elements requiring strict information security protocols
IronClad was responding to a Ministry of Defence tender with tight delivery requirements. Missing the deadline would mean losing a multi-year contract opportunity.
The Solution
Metal Market established a dedicated secure project space with access controls and coordinated production across two defence-cleared facilities, ensuring full ITAR compliance and information security.
Defence-Cleared Manufacturing
- Two defence-cleared facilities with security protocols
- Dedicated secure project space with access controls on the platform
- NABL-lab material verification for full chain of custody
First Article Inspection (FAI)
- FAI per AS9102 standard for all 42 part numbers
- In-process inspection at 3 manufacturing checkpoints
- Independent NABL-accredited material testing
- MIL-STD-810G environmental compliance verification
“In defence, there's no room for compromise on quality or security. Metal Market's platform gave us both — with the added bonus of significantly faster delivery.”
— Col. Ashish Verma (Retd.), Managing Director, IronClad Systems
