When operating in the fields of defence, security or the military industry, we are aware that the protection of sensitive equipment and materials is crucial to maintaining the effectiveness and safety of every mission. ZFoam we have specialised in the transformation of technical foams, always focused on providing highly reliable solutions to protect optical systems, weapons, sensitive electronics and any device that requires very demanding conditions.
New comprehensive line of packaging solutions for defence
In 2025, we wanted to go one step further. In addition to manufacturing customised foam inserts —our hallmark— we are expanding our range with different outer containers including technical cases, aluminium boxes, flight cases and industrial wooden boxes.. This allows us to offer the possibility of outsourcing the entire design and manufacture of the protection and transport system, with the convenience of dealing with a single supplier.
Specialisation in advanced foam protection
Our inserts are manufactured from different types of foams (PE, PA, EVA, PU, etc.), machined using CNC technologies, water cutting and/or machining. These foams are ideal for:
- Absorbing impacts in a calibrated manner according to the mass and sensitivity of the equipment.
- Responding to extreme environmental conditions, with chemical and thermal compatibility.
- Maintaining a professional appearance and withstanding intensive or repetitive use.
To learn more about how our foams protect critical equipment, we recommend our article on ESD foams.
2025: turnkey solution
Now, in addition to the interior, we also offer the container that houses it.
We can supply:
- Rigid technical cases with IP67, pressure compensation valve and MIL-STD approvals.
- Aluminium boxes, stackable and fire and water resistant, with electromagnetic shielding options.
- Flight cases, designed for repetitive transport of complex or removable systems.
- Reinforced wooden cases, suitable for heavy transport or very specific logistical needs.
Thanks to these new options, systems engineers, defence contractors and operational forces can rely on us to develop and manufacture packaging solutions designed from start to finish.

Official distributors of EXPLORER Cases
As part of this expansion, we have become an official distributor of EXPLORER Cases, one of the most recognised brands in technical cases for military and emergency use. Manufactured in Italy, EXPLORER cases are IP67 and MIL-STD 810G certified and stand out for their resistance to shocks, drops and adverse conditions
