CRA is an engineering company with over 30 years of experience delivering custom-engineered systems to the Energy and Defence sectors. We design and manufacture robust, high-performance solutions including combustion systems, biogas processing packages, gas flaring systems, and defence-grade weapon handling equipment.

Our manufacturing operations span two units in the NCR region and are supported by in-house design, engineering, QA, and procurement teams. We are now strengthening our operational leadership as we prepare for ERP implementation, ISO 9001 & AS9100D certification, and long-term scale.
