Supporting Local Businesses in the Defence Supply Chain

At GKL Group, our connection to the Defence industry is both professional and personal. As a proudly Australian Veteran Owned Business, we understand the unique requirements of working within Defence, and we know what it takes to operate successfully in that environment.

Our team includes individuals with direct Defence experience, as well as those who’ve worked closely with Defence contractors across Australia. This dual perspective allows us to support businesses looking to build their presence in the Defence supply chain, whether they’re just getting started or looking to expand their capability.

GKL Group works with a range of clients from Tier 1 national contractors through to smaller locally owned businesses, providing practical support across procurement processes, submissions, estimating, programming, and compliance.

“We help our clients understand the language, culture and expectations that shape Defence projects, so they can position themselves confidently and credibly within the sector,” said Managing Director Glen Langfeldt.

“Defence work isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about understanding the operating environment and demonstrating genuine capability,” Glen said.

“We support businesses in bridging that gap, so they can bring their skills to the table and contribute meaningfully to Australia’s Defence objectives,” he added.

With a strong pipeline of Defence investment ahead, there’s real opportunity for regional and local businesses to get involved. At GKL Group, we’re proud to play a part in helping those businesses succeed.
