PLATE TECHNOLOGY

For the protection of people

Security steel

For decades now, C.A.PICARD® has been one of the world's best manufacturers of special steel solutions for specialised industries. Our knowledge of materials is based on our history, since 1876 we have combined experience, know-how and development in an optimal way. This is how we also meet the highest demands.

For the protection of people, since 2006 we have been supplying HC Protect®, a safety steel of the latest generation for the military, civil protection and cash-in-transit vehicles. Thanks to state-of-the-art production processes, we combine seemingly contradictory properties such as extremely high hardness and toughness in a single material, for superior performance. Guaranteed mechanical properties and the tightest thickness tolerances provide ballistic protection that is at the same time weight-optimised.

Thanks to its multi-hit capability at low weight, HC Protect® offers reliable effectiveness against hard-core ammunition in a composite system against the most diverse types of threat.

Through many years of experience, unique manufacturing capabilities, and continuous development in close cooperation with our customers, we offer tailor-made solutions that match your needs.
