Our story
Over fifty years of current.
Protex was established by industry professionals who were tired of suppliers that didn't carry what the trade actually needed. Fifty-plus years later, the shop still answers to the same standard.
The principle
If we wouldn't fit it ourselves,
we don't sell it.
That single rule shapes every shelf in the shop. It's why we run with twelve people on the counter — eleven of whom held a pair of strippers before they ever held a till.

Honesty
If a cheaper part will do the job, we'll say so. Margins matter less than mornings spent putting things right.

Standards
Every product is to spec, every certificate is on file. We work to code, never around it.

Continuity
Same shop, same family, same town. The names behind the counter don't change every season.
