Roxtec Australia Pty Ltd

Small and Medium Enterprises

Overview

Roxtec Australia, the local subsidiary of the Swedish Roxtec Group founded in 1990, has developed a strong presence in the Australian defence industry since entering the market in the early 2000s. Aligning with the growth of national defence capabilities—particularly naval shipbuilding—the company has supplied advanced cable and pipe sealing solutions designed to protect critical systems from fire, water, blast, and electromagnetic threats. Its modular sealing technology has been widely adopted in major Royal Australian Navy programs, supporting the construction and sustainment of platforms such as frigates, submarines, and offshore patrol vessels. Roxtec Australia has established close partnerships with defence primes, shipbuilders, and engineering organisations, ensuring compliance with strict military standards and contributing to the reliability and safety of defence assets. Beyond maritime applications, the company’s solutions are also used in land-based defence infrastructure, including secure facilities and communication centres, where protection of sensitive systems is essential. By combining global innovation with local expertise, Roxtec Australia continues to play a trusted role in supporting the resilience, safety, and lifecycle performance of Australia’s defence capabilities.

Capabilities

Roxtec’s core capability lies in providing certified, modular sealing solutions that protect cables and pipes where they pass through bulkheads, decks, and enclosures. These systems deliver multi-risk protection against fire, water ingress, blast pressure, vibration, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and environmental hazards—critical requirements in defence applications. The flexibility of Roxtec’s transit system allows for high cable density, easy retrofit, and future upgrades without compromising integrity, supporting the long service life and evolving needs of defence platforms. In addition, Roxtec offers engineering support, inspection, and lifecycle services to ensure compliance with stringent naval and military standards. Within the defence industry, these capabilities are applied extensively in naval shipbuilding and sustainment. Roxtec Australia has supported major Royal Australian Navy programs by supplying sealing systems for surface vessels and submarines, where maintaining watertight integrity and fire protection is essential for survivability. Its solutions are used in shipyard construction phases as well as during maintenance and upgrades, helping reduce installation time and lifecycle costs while ensuring compliance with classification society and defence requirements. Roxtec’s technology has also been implemented in defence infrastructure projects, such as secure communications facilities and data centres. In these environments, its EMI shielding and environmental sealing capabilities protect sensitive equipment from interference, moisture, and external threats—ensuring operational reliability. Recent applications include continued involvement in naval shipbuilding programs in Australia and support for sustainment activities, where Roxtec systems enable efficient cable management during refits and system modernisation.
