Toronto-based Paradigm Shift Technologies Inc. has partnered with Perfect Bore Defense, a division of Perfect Bore Manufacturing, to establish the United Kingdom’s only gun barrel coating facility.

This collaboration will bring Paradigm Shift’s groundbreaking EPVD® coating technology together with the world-class precision barrel manufacturing expertise of Perfect Bore. The result will be a sovereign capability for the UK, ensuring that critical defense components can be manufactured, perfectly coated, and enhanced entirely within the nation’s borders.

Unlike legacy toxic chrome plating, EPVD® is fully environmentally compliant with all EU and UK regulations, offering a sustainable alternative that enhances performance while eliminating harmful toxic materials.

The new state-of-the-art operation will provide the Ministry of Defence and UK industry with unmatched access to advanced barrel endurance and performance-enhancing technology. Reducing reliance on foreign suppliers and strengthening domestic defense sustainability and resilience.

“This partnership marks a paradigm shift in how the UK will be able to support its warfighters,” said [Eugene Yumshtyk, COO, Paradigm Shift Technologies]. “By combining innovation, sustainability, and unique local manufacturing excellence, we are enabling the UK to maintain complete control over its critical defense capabilities.”

“We are prepared to go to any lengths to support the nations armed forces. We will provide all services with the most premium firing systems made on British soil, in the hope this makes the user feel proud and safe to fight for their country.” [Will Laughton, Business Development Director, Perfect Bore Defense].
