Growth & Expansion RT&D is part of the Fairbanks Morse Defense ecosystem with ongoing international expansion plans, including increased davit production in Poland and new European facilities. This signals growing demand and opportunities to cross-sell marine defense hardware, coatings, and custom tooling for larger, multinational naval programs.

Defense-Grade Capabilities With over 55 years in electrical-systems hardware design and metal stamping, plus a strong patent portfolio and in-house coating capabilities, RT&D can offer high-performance, corrosion-resistant marine components and turnkey fabrication solutions to navies and defense contractors seeking reliable, battle-tested suppliers.

Integrated Tech Stack Utilization of MATLAB, SAP, OpenAI, and other enterprise tools positions RT&D to support data-driven design, optimized manufacturing, and efficient project management. This enables tailored solutions for complex integration projects and faster delivery timelines for defense procurement cycles.

Strategic Partnerships Operating under the Fairbanks Morse Defense umbrella and proximity to large-scale naval programs creates potential for co-development, subcontracting, and long-term supply agreements for electrical systems, tool-and-die manufacturing, and specialized coatings used in maritime defense.

Quality & Delivery Owns a modern powder coat facility and specialized coatings with superior wear and corrosion resistance, aligning with customers prioritizing durability and lifecycle maintenance. This supports upsell opportunities for long-term service contracts, maintenance, and replacement tooling for maritime fleets.
