Armored/Presidential vehicles Contact us

Security is a moving target. Techniques, materials and the people using them are constantly changing.

Yesterday’s invincible defence can be vulnerable tomorrow. That’s why our security philosophy is based on recognising and anticipating challenges before they become a reality. We continuously strive to stay ahead of the requirements. We examine every aspect of automotive protection, safety and security from both a theoretical and practical stand. We plan how a vehicle will be used as and what type of risk it may be exposed to.

Our relentless determination to stay ahead of those who intend to put in harm’s way requires us to be highly specialised and resolutely focused. So we create leading-edge solutions that work even under new or unexpected circumstances. Nothing less is acceptable. Because where lives are on the line, there are no second chances. Our elite, international political and corporate clientele expect the utmost possible, and we deliver nothing less.

Our vehicles all have one issue in common:

They provide complete shelter for their passengers, perfectly tailored to our customer’s needs.

Since passenger protection can not be generalised, protection might need to be provided against handgun attacks, while in another case it might be absolutely mandatory to prevent explosives and high-powered rifles from taking effect. Our products offer the full range of protective equipment from anti-kidnapping features to state -of-the-art armour protection for presidential-level security risks. As well as everything in between.

Our precisely graduated range makes sure that you get exactly what you need without paying for anything you don’t need.

We’ll work with you to help discover the exact degree of protection that’s necessary. Since security features are added to existing vehicles, the availability of a given model is seldom a problem. Samson Rogers Group can access suitable models from variety of automotive manufacturers at any time.

We can also keep a number of prepared cars available which can quickly be modified to meet specific needs. However, we’ll guarantee a suitable short delivery time.

The basic vehicle must meet specific criteria for both Samson Rogers Group technicians and engineers.
