Armored Steel Manufacturing in the United States

Reliable and Robust Protection Against Penetration and Explosive Threats

Armor steel is engineered to deliver exceptional hardness, toughness, and structural strength, providing reliable protection against penetration and explosive forces. Protective steels such as Armox® from SSAB are widely used across the US defense industry, as well as in armored civilian vehicles and other high risk applications where safety and performance are critical.

At Proplate, we manufacture precision armor steel components for defense and other sectors where strict safety requirements cannot be compromised. Our components are produced from hardened, hot rolled steel to achieve maximum protective performance, while still maintaining excellent machinability. From our Alabama manufacturing facility, Proplate delivers end to end production services for protective steel components, including cutting, machining, bending, and surface finishing.

Armored Steel Manufacturing in the United States

Armox armored steel is produced at SSAB’s US steel operations, allowing Proplate to source high quality armor plate efficiently for domestic manufacturing. Combined with our streamlined production workflows in Alabama, this results in shorter lead times and dependable delivery schedules for US customers.

Every component manufactured by Proplate is assigned a unique Proplate ID number, providing full traceability back to the original steel plate production. Through our secure customer portal, clients can quickly access material certifications and documentation for complete transparency and compliance with US industry standards.

Specialists in Cutting and Processing Advanced Steels

Our Alabama facility is equipped with seven large scale cutting systems utilizing plasma and oxy-fuel technology. This allows us to process steel plates up to 300 millimeters thick and up to 42 meters in length. The ability to cut multiple components simultaneously enables faster turnaround times while maintaining tight tolerances and consistent quality.

With advanced equipment, experienced operators, and a commitment to American manufacturing, Proplate supports defense and industrial customers across the United States with dependable, high performance armored steel solutions.
