Defence & Military
Defence-grade modular infrastructure from a certified, cleared and audited European hall.
The brief
Defence buyers do not have a supplier problem, they have an assurance problem. Tanax runs AQAP 2110 alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and EN ISO 3834-2, executes steel to EN 1090-1 EXC2, holds a national defence trade licence, and is a registered defence supplier with a CAGE code. It manufactures in its own hall in Slovakia, inside the EU customs and export regime, and it has delivered more than 200 modules against a live multi-year framework in the €16 M class. The capability is accommodation, sanitary, storage, special-purpose and camp-scale power, supplied as a system, not as boxes.

FAQ
Questions procurement asks
Are you AQAP 2110 certified?
Yes, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and EN ISO 3834-2, with EN 1090-1 EXC2 for steel execution.
Can you handle classified or export-controlled work?
We hold a national defence trade licence and work under NDA as standard. Classification handling is agreed case by case before any documentation moves.
Do you deliver whole camps or single units?
Both. The camp set is accommodation, sanitary, laundry, kitchen, cold chain, water, waste, fuel, generation, distribution and storage, delivered connected and commissioned.
What documentation comes with a delivery?
Design pack, ILS package and analysis, V&V plan, coating and dimensional reports, electrical inspection, functional test protocol, spare-parts list with a 20-year availability statement, train-the-trainer material, and SK/EN manuals.
Do you do EMI or TEMPEST shielded shelters?
We build the shelter and the shielding provisions. Verified shielded fit-out is delivered with an electronics partner. We will not claim a test capability we do not hold.
How fast can you install on site?
Two connected 40-module sets in about ten working days, given a crane, a hiab, riggers and a prepared surface.
