About

Petards Joyce-Loebl have been involved in rugged electronic solutions since 1951 when Dr Herbert Loebl established Joyce-Loebl along with fellow engineering graduate Robert Joyce.

Much of the technology in the early years were dedicated towards the health and defence sectors – the latter of which still plays a key role in Petards portfolio today.

At the end of the cold war, the company made the strategic decision to transfer the experience and skills it had obtained in rugged electronic solutions for the defence sector, into more mainstream channels.

Transport and particularly rail applications were the most natural fit, where Petards have grown to become market leaders in electronic on-board solutions.

Today, the Petards portfolio has grown to also include the global security sector. Our range of ProVida surveillance solutions are used in over 70% of UK police forces and in over 20 countries world-wide.

Our ANPR cameras are widely recognised as the leading mobile and fixed solutions available on the market. Our introduction of new IP Digital and HD ANPR cameras ensure we remain the preferred choice of ANPR camera provider for hundreds of commercial and public service operators.
