BlastPro Manufacturing

What BlastPro Manufacturing does

BlastPro Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned US manufacturer of industrial surface preparation equipment headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The company produces portable shot blasters, ride-on floor scrapers, and HEPA-compliant dust collection systems used primarily by contractors, industrial facility managers, and commercial property operators to remove floor coverings (rubber, carpet, tile, mortar, adhesives, vinyl) and prepare concrete and steel surfaces for coatings. Equipment is sold both directly and through an authorized dealer network covering the United States and Canada (including Niagara Machine, Geroquip, All-Redi, Dunrite, and J.D. Honigberg International), with short-term rentals available through selected partners.

The company's core technological differentiator is the patented RimLoc blastwheel system, an exclusive license from inventor Jim Goff whose original 1972 portable shotblasting design underlies the entire product category. BlastPro maintains an advisory relationship with Goff, who consults on equipment design, and reports a 3:1 production performance margin over the leading competitor. The product line spans roughly 20 SKUs across three categories, with paired dust-collector and shot-blaster configurations, and all units are manufactured in the USA. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, equipment rentals, and a repair-and-reconditioning service business covering all makes and models, supported by 24/7 phone support and same-day parts shipping.

Commercially, BlastPro operates a sales-led, direct-quote model with no publicly disclosed pricing, targeting enterprise and mid-market contractors across industrial, commercial, infrastructure (parking garages, bridges), and marine (ship deck) end markets. The company has no institutional investment, public filings, or external funding rounds, having operated since 2007 under owner Michael R. Nelson with roots in predecessor entity Nelco Manufacturing, Inc. (founded 1972) and parallel operations with Nelson Industrial Services.

Product overview

BlastPro Manufacturing offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial surface preparation equipment organized into three core product categories: portable shot blasters (BP series), ride-on floor scrapers (BRB series), and dust collection systems. The shot blasters propel abrasive media at surfaces, recycle the media, and work in conjunction with dust collectors for waste removal. The floor scrapers efficiently remove floor coverings including rubber, carpet, tile, mortar, adhesives, vinyl, hardwood, and elastomeric coatings. The dust collectors reduce airborne particulates to provide cleaner work environments and better safety conditions. All equipment is available for sale and rental, with 24/7 customer support and technical service.
