We’re proud to announce that we have officially signed a new partnership agreement with KND Naval Design (South Africa) and Anura (New Zealand) for the development of a HDPE Gladiator Amphibious Craft.

This collaboration marks an important milestone as we expand into the Asia-Pacific defence and professional market, focusing on fast-deployment, all-terrain amphibious craft designed for military, surveillance, and special-operations applications.

Manufacturing of the first prototype will commence soon at Nautech Fabrications in South Africa, where construction of the HDPE hull and integrated amphibious drive system will commence soon. Once launched, the Gladiator Amphibious will set a new benchmark in durability, versatility, and performance — capable of transitioning seamlessly from land to sea with the reliability HDPE technology is known for.

This project represents the next evolution of KND’s proven Gladiator HDPE range, adapted for the demands of rapid-response and tactical operations worldwide and APAC Surveillance's innovative approach to providing the market with world class products in the region.
