    We manufacture vessel heads in a wide range of shapes and sizes, engineered to withstand high pressure and extreme conditions found in defence projects.

Our vision

Engineering Readiness for Defence

In the defence sector, innovation is essential—but it must be matched by manufacturability. From advanced mobility systems to energy solutions for military operations, forward-thinking companies are developing the technologies that will shape tomorrow’s battlefield. Yet without a clear route to production, even the most cutting-edge ideas risk delay or failure.

That’s where Antonius comes in.

Operating at the intersection of engineering excellence and high-performance manufacturing, Antonius is uniquely equipped to support defence innovators. We understand that mission-critical solutions demand not only precision, but speed and scalability. Our deep knowledge of materials and production processes ensures that your designs are not only technically advanced but also practical, cost-effective, and ready for deployment.

For defence partners with limited in-house capacity—or those who need to remain focused on R&D—we take on significant parts of the manufacturing process. This enables you to accelerate development timelines and bring operational capabilities to market quickly, without compromising on quality or security.

With Antonius, you don’t just innovate—you deliver.
