Protexplo

Securing explosives with trusted precision

For more than five decades, Protexplo has been a leader in secure storage and transport solutions for explosives, working in close partnership with Abloy to ensure uncompromising safety. Located in Mirabel, QC, and Kelowna, BC, Canada, Protexplo is a family-run business that has built its reputation on delivering solutions where security is never optional.

“We’ve been designing secure storage and transport solutions for explosives for over 50 years. Safety isn’t just a feature, it’s the foundation of everything we do,” says Simon Castonguay, President.

Safety first in every environment

With explosives, there’s no margin for error. That’s why Protexplo turned to Abloy, whose high‑security locking systems help them deliver storage units that remain reliable even under the toughest conditions.

“The materials we handle are dangerous. They need to be stored in a way that’s fire-resistant, theft-proof, and tamper-resistant—even in the harshest environments.”

Thanks to Abloy’s expertise, Protexplo ensures that every solution meets the strictest requirements for safety and resilience.

More than a strong door

For Protexplo, true security extends beyond heavy steel or reinforced doors—it requires accountability and controlled access. Abloy’s advanced locking technology provides exactly that, giving Protexplo and its clients confidence that only the right people can enter at the right time.

“Security in this industry is about more than just a strong door. It’s about controlling access—knowing exactly who has the keys and when.”

“That’s why we chose Abloy. Their locking solutions—like the ME151T deadbolt and PROTEC² keys—give us the control our clients demand.”

The partnership ensures that every lock and key is more than just hardware—it’s a safeguard for lives and livelihoods.

A partnership built on trust

The relationship between Protexplo and Abloy goes far deeper than a traditional supplier‑client connection. From the beginning, Abloy has worked side by side with Protexplo to customize locking systems that are fully compliant, rigorously field tested, and able to exceed regulatory standards.

“Working with Abloy wasn’t just about buying locks. They helped us shape solutions that actually meet and exceed regulatory standards.”

This hands‑on partnership has allowed Protexplo to consistently deliver safe, reliable, and regulation‑proof solutions.

Securing what matters

Every Protexplo shipment secured with ABLOY technology represents more than just a transport of materials—it represents trust, safety, and peace of mind. Together, Protexplo and Abloy prove that when it comes to explosives storage and transportation, nothing less than the highest level of security will do. Simon understands this well: “In this line of work, trust matters. Abloy earned ours.”
