Building Resilience in the Defence Supply Chain

Rebound Electronics are delighted to co-host an exclusive member networking event with Make UK Defence, focused on strengthening resilience across the defence supply chain.

The discussion will explore:

  • Where investment is needed to support long-term resilience
  • Key pressure points and vulnerabilities within current supply chains
  • The vital role that SMEs can play in supporting flexibility, innovation, and responsiveness
  • How to extend the life of existing defence platforms and manage component obsolescence effectively

As defence requirements evolve, maintaining operational capability while navigating supply chain disruption is more critical than ever. This event aims to bring together industry leaders, SMEs, and stakeholders to explore practical, forward-thinking solutions

At Rebound Electronics, we have over 23 years of experience supporting the defence industry. Combining a strong digital footprint, proprietary sourcing tools, data-driven analytics, and global reach to deliver trusted supply chain and inventory management solutions. Backed by a highly experienced quality team, enhanced inspection facilities, and industry-leading certifications, we are committed to providing reliable, high-quality service to clients worldwide.
