Brass Products

Denel PMPs non-ferrous foundry and rolling plant produces up to 80 tons of brass daily.  A major portion is used for the manufacture of ammunition by Denel PMP itself, with the remainder supplied as brass strip, cups and discs to local and international clients. Denel PMP has been a strategic supplier of brass cups for the manufacture of ammunition to BAE Systems since 2001.

The Denel PMP foundry and rolling mill is the leader in South Africa in terms of advanced technology and quality. However for Denel PMP, quality does not only suggest conformance to specifications - we are also highly focussed on the needs of our customers regarding flexibility, promptness of delivery and after sales service.
