Key Terms

2 terms
design for manufacturing technical
"Applying its Design for Manufacturing (DFM) methodology"
Design for manufacturing (DFM) is the practice of creating a product so it can be made reliably, cost-effectively, and at scale by the chosen production processes. It aligns engineering choices—materials, tolerances, assembly steps—with factory capabilities to reduce waste, improve yield, shorten ramp-up time and lower unit cost; think of it like designing a car so it can be put together quickly and cheaply on a high-speed assembly line. Investors watch DFM because it influences production costs, margins, time-to-market and the risk of supply or quality problems that affect financial results.
fiber-reinforced composite technical
"automated materials handling, precision application, and fiberglass-based reinforcement"
A fiber-reinforced composite is a manufactured material made by embedding strong, thin fibers (like glass, carbon, or aramid) into a softer matrix (such as plastic, resin, or metal) so the combination is stronger and lighter than either part alone. For investors, these materials matter because they enable lighter, more durable products in industries like aerospace, automotive, wind energy and construction, which can affect production costs, product performance and market demand much like adding steel beams to concrete improves a building’s strength.

ITS Designs and Delivers a Custom Composite Materials Production Line, Extending Defense-Grade Fiber-Reinforced Composite Manufacturing to Industrial Scale

NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: DFNS) ("T3 Defense" or the "Company"), a defense company that acquires and operates mission-critical defense and industrial businesses, today announced that its subsidiary, Industrial Techno-Logic Solutions ("ITS"), has designed and delivered a custom composite materials production line to a leading Israeli building materials manufacturer.

Bringing its defense-proven fiberglass production expertise to a line for a customer in building materials, ITS was able to fully integrate automated materials handling, precision application, and fiberglass-based reinforcement to manufacture advanced composite products at industrial scale. Applying its Design for Manufacturing (DFM) methodology, ITS assumed end-to-end responsibility for mechanical engineering design, machining, supply chain management, integration, and factory deployment, enabling the manufacturer to achieve production-ready output with the precision and delivery reliability that characterizes ITS's work across defense and industrial programs.

ITS composites manufacturing

"Defense capability increasingly depends on sovereign manufacturing supply chains. Nations that cannot produce the components their defense programs require at home face critical vulnerabilities at exactly the wrong moment. ITS is closing that gap," said Menny Shalom, Chairman and CEO of T3 Defense. "Composite materials are becoming foundational across defense and industrial manufacturing, and the ability to produce them reliably at scale is a strategic capability in its own right. This production line gives the customer exactly that foundation, at the precision that defense and industrial programs demand. As governments and prime contractors continue to prioritize localized, qualified manufacturing, we expect ITS to be an increasingly sought-after partner for exactly this type of capability-building engagement."

The delivery marks the latest milestone in an ongoing relationship between ITS and the undisclosed customer, reflecting confidence the customer has placed in ITS as a long-term manufacturing partner. The expansion of the collaboration to include a dedicated continuous production line underscores ITS's ability to support customers across successive programs and scale, translating early-stage engineering partnerships into full production-ready industrial infrastructure.
