Somos Sepronac

What Somos Sepronac does

Somos Sepronac (legal entity SEPRONAC CIA LTDA.) is a privately held Ecuadorian physical and electronic security provider founded in 1995 with 28 years of operating history, directing roughly 98% of its portfolio to private-sector clients. Its service catalog spans ten core lines: specialized manned surveillance, airport security, electronic security systems, alarm monitoring with armed response, video analytics, VIP close protection, route custody, satellite locks and intelligent tracking, container security, and logistics monitoring. The technical stack combines human guarding with radio-dispatched motorbike patrol, trunked radio, GPS/satellite locking devices, geo-fenced routing on Location-World OSMR maps, CCTV with computer-vision analytics, panic-button systems unified to cameras, and Israel-origin VERITAS integrity testing for personnel vetting.

Service delivery is anchored by 14 regional offices and 11 armed-response monitoring centers across Ecuador (Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Manta, Latacunga, Riobamba, Baños, Santo Domingo, Loja, Esmeraldas, Ibarra, El Coca, Quevedo, Lago Agrio, plus Ambato and Machala for monitoring), coordinated by 140+ supervisors. Electronic security hardware is sourced through a strategic alliance with sister company Americanwide, while airport-security personnel are trained under ETAC (Escuela Técnica de Aviación Civil) curricula. The company sells exclusively via direct enterprise field sales with multi-year contracts, quote-based custom pricing, and segmented account management; revenue is generated through managed manned guarding, hardware installation, and recurring monitoring subscriptions.

Customer concentration spans 100+ named enterprise logos across banking (Banco Guayaquil, Banecuador, Mutualista Pichincha), retail (Fybeca, Supermercados Santandriana, RadioShack), logistics (DHL, Transgom, Freight International), automotive (BAIC, Foton, Tata), industrial (CELEC, Whirlpool, Linde), healthcare (Hospital Metropolitano), entertainment (Cinemark), and education (USFQ). The company carries an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018, NTE INEN ISO 22320:2020 emergency management compliance, BASC certification (renewed 2025-2026), and Primero Ecuador status, alongside a government operating permit (No. 0141 SC-DINERHU-08). The business remains privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or headcount expansion signals beyond steady-state rotation.
