What Med Eng Systems does

Med-Eng Holdings ULC is a Canadian privately held manufacturer of personal protective equipment and tools for military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), public safety bomb squads, and humanitarian demining organizations. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Ottawa with manufacturing operations in Pembroke, Ontario, the company designs, tests, and produces bomb suits, ballistic and blast-protection helmets (EOD 10, EOD 9A, TSR), tactical vests, visors, blast attenuation seats for military vehicles, blast exposure sensors, and modular EOD/Hook & Line/Search kits marketed under the BombTec brand. The company also distributes ICOR Technology robots as part of its EOD offering.

The core technology base centers on blast physics research applied to personnel and vehicle survivability. Approximately 10,000 blast attenuation seats have been fielded in military vehicles worldwide, featuring recoverable energy attenuation systems that protect against both lift-off and slam-down phases of blast events. Products carry independent certifications including NIJ Standard 0117.01 for bomb suits, MIL-STD-461E for electromagnetic compatibility, and NATO STANAG 2897 for non-magnetic tool systems, creating regulatory barriers to entry.

Med-Eng operates a business-to-government sales model targeting defense ministries and public safety agencies through direct enterprise sales, trade exhibitions, and a quote-based procurement system. Revenue streams consist primarily of one-time hardware sales (bomb suits, helmets, blast attenuation seats, modular kits) supplemented by training and equipment support services. The company is trusted to deliver products in over 100 countries and territories, with the EOD 10 helmet alone deployed in over 50 countries.
