PLATE TECHNOLOGY

For decades, C.A.PICARD^® has been one of the world’s best manufacturers of special steel solutions for specialized industries. Our knowledge of materials is based on our history – since 1876 we have been combining experience, know-how and development in the best possible way. This is how we meet even 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.
