Sentry Protection Products: Always on Guard

Sentry Protection Products is a pioneer in the manufacturing and marketing of impact resistant products and collision warning systems. Since 1998 when the company was founded, its mission has been to provide customers with solutions to their biggest safety challenges.

From the original Column Sentry® column protector, the first in the industry, to a full line of award winning, impact resistant products and collision warning systems for industrial applications, every Sentry product is built with the same mindset: safety can’t be compromised. Using high quality materials, precise manufacturing, and rigorous testing, we deliver solutions that are reliable, efficient, and built to last.

“At first, it wasn’t easy to convince customers that a ‘plastic’ column protector could minimize the force of forklift impact on building columns and protect them from damage,” says Jim Ryan, company owner. “The Column Sentry changed the way the industry looked at column protection and it’s still the industry leader today.”

Twenty-five years ago, the company introduced the idea of energy absorbing column protectors and rack protectors to Europe.

“From our production facilities in France and warehouse in the Netherlands, we serve western Europe with a full line of impact resistant and collision warning products,” added Ryan. “Our products are sold to the European market through a vast network of quality distributors.”

“We are always looking at ways to move forward in providing our customers with new and more advanced ways to protect their facilities, equipment and people,” added Ryan. “The industry is constantly evolving, and we need to keep pace with developing products that meet our customer’s changing needs.”

Sentry is headquartered in Ohio, in the industrial midwestern US, with manufacturing in both North America and Europe.
