Engineering protection around complex equipment since 1998.
Barum & Dewar specialises in the design, manufacture and supply of protective packaging for high-value, sensitive and mission-critical equipment.
Established in 1998, the business has grown from its roots in aluminium containers into a multi-material protective packaging specialist serving clients across Space, Aerospace, Defence, Offshore and Industrial markets.
Today, our capabilities range from established protective cases and 19-inch racks to bespoke containers, engineered foam, sewn products, and specialist handling solutions.
What has remained consistent is the way we work: understanding the complete requirement, applying engineering and design expertise, and developing the solution around the equipment rather than asking the equipment to fit the packaging.
Behind every project is a team of designers, engineers, manufacturing specialists and project managers experienced in solving complex product protection challenges.
Our people work across disciplines from the earliest stages of a project, allowing practical considerations around design, manufacture, transportation, handling and use to be considered together.
That experience has been developed across thousands of individual packaging requirements, from compact instrumentation cases to large containers for spacecraft and aerospace equipment.
Many of our client relationships extend across multiple projects and programmes.
As our understanding of a client’s equipment, standards and operating environment grows, we can support greater consistency, respond more efficiently to changing requirements and identify opportunities to improve future solutions.
Our maintained design records also provide continuity for repeat manufacture, modifications, refurbishment and through-life support.
B&D is a values-led business. Our values shape how we work with clients, suppliers and each other.
