About EMP Shield INC
EMP Shield Inc. was founded in 2017 in Burlington, Kansas, by Pete Keegan, Rowdy Meyer, and Andrew Bucchin. The venture began as a project to capture solar electrostatic waves for alternative energy; the founders designed a surge protector to safeguard the system’s antenna from lightning. That work led them to study high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) threats and the limitations of existing military surge protectors, which were single-use, costly, and unable to stop all three EMP phases. The company manufactures EMP defense devices for whole-home, vehicle, generator, industrial, and portable applications. Its product line includes surge protectors that react in under one nanosecond using proprietary SightSpeed™ technology, and units rated to withstand more than 40 EMP events without degradation. EMP Shield reports over 250,000 units sold and more than $8 billion in protected infrastructure, though facility size and headcount are not disclosed. Customers span residential, automotive, marine, aviation, and industrial sectors, as well as government agencies. The company works with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense to harden critical assets, and its devices are listed in DHS’s EMP Resilience Report. Direct-to-consumer sales dominate, but the technology also scales to electric-grid and commercial installations. The founders created EMP Shield after discovering that military-grade protectors burned out after one HEMP strike and could not cover the E1, E2, and E3 phases. They set out to build a reusable, cost-effective solution that could be installed at a standard breaker panel. The stated mission is to protect America’s electrical infrastructure from EMP and power-surge threats, a goal pursued through the American EMP Awareness Campaign alongside DHS.
