Indoor Firing Range with Ballistic Test Equipment and High Speed Video System
Thanks to vertical integration of design, manufacture, and testing under one roof, we are able to prototype and validate designs rapidly. This means the company is well positioned to modify equipment, or to develop novel solutions to suit customer requirements. Indeed, a number of our core products have been produced with specific modifications for our customers over the years.
Engineering
We have a large suite of design studios for Computer Aided Design (CAD) and virtual modelling, and electronics and mechanical workstations for product development and prototyping.
Research & Development
Ensuring our products are market-ready requires extensive research, followed by rigorous and comprehensive testing once prototyped. At Richmond, once in-house testing and improvements have been completed, products are sent to external organisations for further testing to gain industry recognised ratings and approvals.
This process does not stop once the finished design goes into production. The R & D team are always working hard to improve existing designs, as well as producing new ideas.
High Speed Video Camera
Underneath our building, we have a test range. This allows us the safest, controlled conditions under which to fire our disrupters and deploy our neutralising equipment.
To capture the deployment of our different products, we have a high-speed video camera. This enables our engineers to analyse product performance and show our end users how the items work through slow motion capture.

A key benefit of working with us is that we manufacture in-house: Raw material comes in, finished product goes out. From CNC lathes and milling stations to 3-D printing, electronic assembly, cartridge loading, and laser engraving; it's all completed within our facility.

We are also equipped with an external facility for our Cartridge loading. This building is fully approved by the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) and provides a safe environment for our team to manufacture cartridges away from the main site.
