Six areas of supply, engineering and support

Each covers the equipment itself and the work that keeps it in service: sourcing, maintenance, repair and logistics.

Tactical equipment and firearms engineering

Specialist work on firearms and tactical equipment: bringing worn or damaged weapons back to service, making the parts that are no longer manufactured, and finishing metal so it lasts.

  • Communication infrastructure
  • Logistics and industrial support

Why D’SALIENT

What defense, security and industrial clients get from working with one partner across equipment, engineering and logistics.

  • Localization

    Supply and technical support built up in the regions we serve, so equipment is maintained close to where it is used rather than shipped away for every fault.

  • Engineering as well as supply

    Repair, overhaul, refinishing and the manufacture of hard-to-find parts keep equipment already in inventory in service for longer.

  • Land, air and infrastructure in one place

    Tactical optics, armored vehicles, aircraft components and runway repair through a single supplier relationship.

  • Experience with government clients

    A registered supplier to the Royal Saudi Air Force and multiple ministries for communication, construction, power, runway and aircraft support.
