Fox Crypto, as a strategic partner, develops products for the Dutch Defense. To safely transport one of these products along with all necessary accessories, there was a need for a waterproof plastic case that would perfectly accommodate the device. Gefken Cases and Fox Crypto joined forces and came up with the ideal solution: a Sentinel plastic case with a custom-made foam interior, designed and produced by Gefken.
Sentinel cases: Waterproof and compliant with strict standards
Sentinel cases, manufactured by the American company Gemstar, are IP67 waterproof and meet the stringent MIL-810 and ATA300 standards. Gefken Cases is the exclusive distributor of these cases in Europe. Thanks to Gefken’s extensive dealer network across Europe and its Dutch production facility, the cases can be customized with tailored interiors, printing, and additional modifications.
Smooth collaboration and rapid development
Diego Noriega from Gefken Cases shares: "The collaboration with Fox Crypto went very smoothly. By keeping communication lines short, we were able to act quickly. Within just a few weeks, we had a fully designed and 3D-rendered final product, which we then converted into a custom prototype within days."
Eelco Jepkema, responsible for Supplier relations at Fox Crypto confirms this: “The collaboration with Gefken Cases was perfect, and Gefken Cases actively thought along and worked on the solution for not only the new product but also the logistical processes.”
Ron van Paassen from Fox Crypto adds: "We were able to use this prototype for all validation tests, including vibration and drop tests."
Outstanding test results and delivery to Defense
The cases passed all tests with flying colors, and the products are now being delivered to the Dutch Defense. This project demonstrates how close collaboration between companies like Gefken Cases and Fox Crypto can lead to innovative solutions that meet the strict requirements of defense.
"The combination of our expertise in custom cases and Fox Crypto’s technological knowledge has resulted in a product that perfectly aligns with the needs of the Dutch Defense," says Diego Noriega.
With the successful development and delivery of the waterproof cases for the Fox Crypto products, Gefken Cases and Fox Crypto have proven that Dutch companies can provide high-quality solutions for the most demanding defense applications.
