Tods Technology

Tods has been in existence for more than 90 years and is the Royal Navy’s preferred choice for the design and production of structural and acoustic composites for both surface warships and submarines. Over this time, we have built an impeccable reputation for quality and delivery to the UK and over 25 navies worldwide, from Europe to USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. We design, test and supply a wide range of sonar domes, mast components, radar/comms system coverings, submarine acoustic windows and other mission-critical composite products. With no field failures over the history of Tods, these products offer an unparalleled robustness and longevity – some remaining in service 50 years after fitting. Alongside well as the Royal Navy, we also have significant activity in the export market, with customers across Europe, Australia, USA and the Far East.

To complement this extensive product range, Tods has established a reputation for high quality, responsive, full life-cycle support and our Marine Services teams provide repair/overhaul expertise in structures and coatings for strategic Royal Navy and other platforms, both surface and sub-surface. These teams are able to deploy globally to support your installation and support needs wherever required.

As a bespoke designer of acoustic products for a wide variety of use cases, Tods is able to optimise material and structural performance characteristics using our Engineering Design and Development Test centres. This allows us to conduct rapid design, development and test of original products or obsolescence rectification materials. This test and Development service is also offered as a stand-alone if required.

In summary, Tods Technology prides itself on offering an industry-leading ‘cradle-to-grave’ composites service to the marine Defence market, including all elements of acoustic/structural materials and products design and manufacture. We hold certifications covering a wide variety of major fabric, resin and polyurethane systems and are happy to discuss your requirements in any area of composite products.
