SIGRA's position
West Norway-based industrial expertise for demanding defence deliveries
SIGRA supplies the defence sector through two channels: Odda Plast as an established subcontractor for composite structures and piping systems to the Norwegian defence industry, and Herde Kompositt as a manufacturer of precise GRP/CRP structures for maritime applications.
We understand the rules of the game in this sector — NDA deliveries, AVL/AML qualification, traceability documentation and tolerance requirements that differ from standard industry specifications. Material selection, production validation and documentation are adapted to the customer's requirements.
