About

The defence landscape has changed. We are setting the new standard.

Threats are evolving faster than traditional procurement cycles can respond. Allied stockpiles need replenishing at a scale and pace that the established defence industrial base is struggling to meet. Partner nations across NATO and beyond require the sovereign industrial capacity to produce, maintain, and develop their own weapons and ammunition rather than relying on supply chains that stretch thin at the point of greatest need.
These challenges demand a different kind of defence company: one that moves with pace, operates efficiently, and delivers genuine value for money without compromising on technical rigour or operational outcomes. TBG International exists to meet that demand. Based in the United Kingdom, we combine the technical depth and compliance standards of established defence industry with the speed, focus, and commercial efficiency that incumbents often cannot offer.

What drives us

Capability

Every system we provide is measured by the operational advantage it delivers. We exist to ensure that allied forces can field effective, reliable capability at scale.

Rigour

Exacting standards across engineering, compliance, programme delivery, and commercial conduct. In defence, there is no margin for approximation.

Sovereignty

Nations that depend on foreign supply chains for critical defence materiel carry strategic risk. We help build genuine indigenous capability that endures.

Partnership

Long-term relationships built on trust, transparency, and shared commitment to outcomes. We succeed when our customers and partners succeed.

Who we are

TBG International is a British defence company headquartered in the United Kingdom. We develop, engineer, manufacture, and deliver defence systems and technologies, working with the UK government, armed forces, and industrial partners across NATO and allied nations. Our first priority is the security and industrial resilience of the United Kingdom, and we are committed to strengthening the UK's position as a leading defence nation. In doing so, we ensure that our allies have access to the capability they need.

TBG International began as the defence division of The Blue Group, which was established in 2009. A combination of its rapid growth and our desire to focus on building the UK's sovereign defence capability led to its creation as a dedicated company. Our work spans the full breadth of defence capability: we deliver complex international programmes, establish sovereign manufacturing infrastructure for weapons, ammunition, and energetics, and develop advanced products through original UK-based research and engineering. We operate across the complete defence value chain, from frontline weapons systems and unmanned platforms through to the industrial base that produces them.

We are passionate about what we do. We believe the UK defence industrial base is a strategic national asset, and we contribute meaningfully to its strength, resilience, and global competitiveness. That belief drives every programme we undertake, every facility we commission, and every product we develop.

We combine deep technical capability with the agility, ambition, and determination to deliver outcomes that matter for the United Kingdom and its allies. We do things differently because the situation demands it, and our track record demonstrates that the approach works.

Our teams operate internationally, working with governments, armed forces, and industrial partners across NATO and allied nations. We bring the full weight of UK defence expertise to every engagement, whether that is a complex multi-year procurement programme, a sovereign manufacturing initiative, or a rapid development effort to address an emerging operational requirement.

How we work

Defence procurement requires deep technical knowledge, rigorous programme management, and the ability to operate within complex international compliance frameworks. Our teams bring all three, consistently delivering on time and on specification in environments where the consequences of failure are unacceptable. We bring established supplier relationships, detailed regulatory knowledge, and the programme discipline of a mature defence enterprise.
The same exacting standards apply to our in-house R&D. Our engineering team develops solutions grounded in physics, validated through testing, and designed from the outset for manufacturability and operational fielding. We own our intellectual property and pursue capability that addresses real operational gaps. Every programme we deliver, every facility we build, and every product we develop is measured against the same question: does this strengthen the security and industrial resilience of the United Kingdom, and by extension, our allies?
