Our Story

Built on trust, forged in service

Founded in 1998, Securitant began as a small procurement consultancy serving the Canadian Department of National Defence. Our founders — veterans themselves — understood the critical importance of reliable equipment in operational environments.

Over two decades, we grew from a regional supplier into Canada's premier tactical equipment distributor. Today we serve every branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, the RCMP, and select allied nations under approved export controls.

Our Ottawa headquarters houses a 40,000 sq ft logistics centre, with satellite offices in Halifax, Edmonton, and Valcartier — strategically located near major Canadian Forces installations.

Integrity

We operate with the highest integrity in every contract, every delivery, every relationship.

Reliability

When your operations depend on equipment, delivery time is critical. We deliver on time, every time.

Partnership

We're not just a supplier — we're an extension of your defence supply chain.
