Protek Safety & Controls
The Deal
- Bought By
- Chris von Saarn
- Year
- Not published by any primary source
- Neither backer that pairs or lists the company dates the purchase in prose: one titles him chief executive with a partner-since year of 2024, which dates the search, and the other prints a year acquired of 2026, which is the backer's own date. The company's pages name no owner and no date, and a Form D search on both principals' surnames returns strangers only.
- Vehicle
- West Lion Capital, backed by Endurance Search Partners and ETA Equity
- Kind
- Physical operations
A Calgary distributor of hazardous-location safety equipment and controls serving Western Canada, which one backer lists as an industrial safety and monitoring investment.
What Happened Next
Still held by one backer's partners card, which titles him chief executive at the operating stage; a second backer lists the company among its current investments.
