    Why Protogetic?

    The idea behind Protogetic is one that has been needed in the North American anti-ram barrier industry for many years. A digital vehicle barrier portfolio that verifies the information manufacturers are publishing as accurate is vital to stopping misinformation and confusion among engineers, architects and end users looking for a barrier product that meets the criteria of their risk assessments. Limiting the barrier offerings to products that have either been properly crash tested and certified by an independent test laboratory, had finite element analyses performed, or proper structural calculations provided by an independent professional engineer gives the people searching for these products peace of mind that what they are finding on Protogetic is accurate information. Gibraltar is glad to have their products on a website that has taken the step to ensure that information provided is accurate.

    It's great to see a purpose-built website that's managed by people who understand the world of protective design. This was long overdue and AMBICO is very happy to be a part of it!

    ASSA ABLOY is excited to be a part of the Protogetic marketplace. Specialty doors are a fast growing product line for us and we can't think of a better place to promote them than Protogetic.

    The security barrier industry in the United States has needed a marketplace like this one for a long time. With so much outdated information and so much confusion about standards and performance, it has been difficult for architects, engineers, specifiers, and security managers to understand and compare the many different products offered by manufacturers. Protogetic is taking on an important task at a time when security has never been more of a concern.

    Protogetic’s search filters streamline selection of the proper vetted and certified hostile vehicle barrier for specific project parameters.
