HISTORY
Mr. Francisco Javier Cardenal founded Square One Armoring Services with the idea of a principled yet practical analysis of what it took to properly integrate armor systems into commercial passenger vehicles.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s it was becoming apparent that much of the industry was no longer applying the proper focus on the engineering and science needed for safe and proper armor integration.
Mr. Cardenal wanted to go back to the most basic principles of proper engineering and so he saw the need to get back to Square One.
pROTECTING LIVES AROUND THE WORLD
Since its inception in 1991, Square One Armoring Services has manufactured over 2,800 armored vehicles. This extensive production experience has allowed Square One to become a global leader in the development and execution of some of the most advanced and complete armor systems for commercially available passenger vehicles. In addition, we lead the industry in the development of armor systems that can withstand severe road-side blast threats. Square One strives to offer the highest levels of armor protection available, and the best customer service and value in the industry. All of our products and services receive the full support of our sales, engineering, and production staff.
THE SCIENCE OF PROTECTION
Square One Armoring Services offers the highest level of engineering and design in the industry with a fully staffed engineering department using the most advanced equipment and techniques to fully render each commercial platform in 3D form. This allows for the most thorough evaluation of ballistic coverage and structural integrity prior to initial prototyping.
