About Us
We have remained committed to the same core principles of business operations.
ProtecD® was established in 2012 in Aix-en-Provence, France, with the goal of creating an advanced, 100% environmentally sustainable solution for the protection of natural stone and concrete surfaces.
Our expertise is in mineralization, a water-repellent treatment that eliminates the need for petroleum-based polymers. This process ensures permanent protection against aging while maintaining the material’s breathability, color, and natural structure.
In 2018, we expanded globally by founding an independent company in Istanbul, Turkey. Here, we apply our mineralization method to safeguard natural stone and concrete, supporting both modern construction and cultural heritage preservation.
Since 2024, we have been collaborating with Heritage UG in Pforzheim, Germany, to advance our mission. Together, we are committed to protecting historical monuments and further developing innovative, long-lasting solutions for stone and concrete preservation.
