50 years of Australian engineering excellence
What started as one man's innovative vision has grown into Australia's leading custom abrasive blasting systems manufacturer.
Half a century ago, one engineer’s vision changed how Australia approaches
surface preparation. Today, Protoblast is the country’s leading manufacturer
of custom-engineered blasting solutions with proprietary technology and
unmatched local support.
The Protoblast story began in 1975, when John Gillies, Chief Design Engineer at Industrial Metal Protectives (IMP), spotted the potential to revolutionise abrasive blasting technology.
He purchased the Blastmaster division and founded Protoblast with a clear vision: create better, more efficient surface preparation solutions for Australian industry.
