With over 70 years of experience, European Springs & Pressings Ireland can design and manufacture high-grade springs and pressings built to perform in the defence and military industries. These two industries demand absolute reliability, precision, and consistent performance. From next-generation airborne smart decoys and advanced electrical connectors to platforms like the Eurofighter and beyond, we can manufacture for the military and defence sector.
As part of the renowned Lesjöfors Group, we produce a comprehensive range of springs and wire forms, including compression springs, tension springs, and torsion springs, each crafted to meet demanding engineering requirements. Here’s why the military & defence sector continues to choose us:
Springs are a crucial part of ensuring the safe and efficient function of military equipment, from rifles to airborne systems.
At European Springs & Pressings Ireland, we build every component with precision and safety in mind. Utilising advanced CNC machinery and the expertise of our skilled technicians, we are able to design and manufacture bespoke springs for the military sector, including for aerospace and magazine applications.
Metal pressings are critical for many defence applications, providing critical support, protection, and stability.
Our manufacturing capabilities include CNC machining, laser cutting, heat treatment, surface finishing, and full traceability, allowing us to meet the strictest defence requirements. Each of our components are developed with precision, fatigue resistance, and reliability in mind, from prototype to large-scale production.
We are proud to design and supply precision-engineered springs and pressings for the defence industry. Each of our components is built to withstand high pressures, vibrations, and the harshest environments.
We pride ourselves in attending the DSEI (Defence & Security Equipment International) at ExCeL London, a leading defence exhibition. The event offered us valuable opportunities to network, collaborate, and showcase innovation across the global defence market.
The demand for high-performance spring components in this sector has increased significantly over the past decade, encompassing a wide range of applications, from vehicle systems and electronics to weapon mechanisms and aerospace technology. To meet this growth, we’ve expanded our production capacity and optimised operations to deliver a consistent, high-quality supply.
We’re proud to support global defence projects by manufacturing durable, reliable, and secure spring and pressing solutions.

We produce a wide range of springs and pressings used in defence and military systems, including:
Yes, we supply components to both the aerospace and defence industries, supporting applications such as flight control systems, avionics, and more.
Materials have to be exceptionally strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion. Common options include Inconel, Nimonic, stainless steel, and Hastelloy. We’ll recommend the best material based on your system’s environment and performance requirements.
Absolutely. Our production processes are ISO 9001 certified, quality-controlled, and fully compliant with defence manufacturing standards. We are also members of The Institute of Spring Technology, MMMA, Made in Britain, EcoVadis, and SBTI.
When specifying springs for critical military or defence use, you should consider the following:
Select corrosion- and heat-resistant alloys, such as Inconel or stainless steel, to ensure reliable performance in demanding conditions, including saltwater, high altitudes, or extreme temperatures.
Design for fatigue resistance and durability to withstand dynamic and repetitive stresses under operational load.
Maintain tight tolerances to ensure fit and function within compact military-grade assemblies.
Select end types that offer stability, precise force distribution, and seamless integration with mating components.
Apply treatments like shot peening, plating, or dry-film lubrication to enhance service life and protect against corrosion, friction, and wear.
Our experienced engineers can guide you through these considerations to ensure the right solution for your defence project.
And even if we don’t have exactly the tool we need, European Springs’ in house technology enables us rapidly to design and make complex tools, allowing us to offer more competitive prices.
