Dillinger offers Defender plate from stock
Dillinger has made its comprehensive product range of highly specialised security and armour steels available from stock through its distribution subsidiary Ancofer, the German mill informs Kallanish.
Its Defender steels have been used in the defence and security industry for many years. They are approved for use by the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) standards in thicknesses of 6-150 mm, combining high toughness combined with exceptional hardness, Dillinger says.
Dillinger’s subsidiary, Ancofer Stahlhandel in Mülheim an der Ruhr, has taken Defender in stock as part of its list of products. “This will enable us to provide customers with tailor-made deliveries, even for short-term requirements, and strengthen our position in this growing market,” says Danny van der Hout, chief dales officer at Dillinger.
The steels are made at both the company’s production sites in Dillingen, Germany and Dunkirk, France. They are available in nine different grades in thicknesses ranging from 6 mm to 150mm and hardnesses from (Briness measures) 270 HB to 600 HB.
According to Dillinger, they are used for highest safety requirements: from civilian or military special protection vehicles on land and water to cash-in-transit vehicles and building protection. The new offer comes in reaction to the threat of “wars, crises and conflicts in our neighbourhood, to the security of Germany and Europe,” van der Hout says.
