Ex-Guard entered the North American vehicle-guard market more than 14 years ago and quickly became a leading full-service U.S. manufacturer. From engineering through finishing, our guards are built in Des Moines, Iowa, and supported by a broad dealer network.
That start-to-finish approach gives fleets, owner-operators and personal-vehicle owners one trusted partner for product fitment, installation guidance and long-term support.

Less Bulk. More Protection.
Our engineering story began in 2005 with an aluminum “moose bumper.” It was strong, but its weight and bulk made one thing clear: the industry needed a smarter solution with the same protection and much easier everyday use.
In 2009, the team introduced the original XG-125 for set-back axle trucks. Ex-Guard has continued to work with manufacturers, dealers and fleet partners ever since—developing protection that helps reduce downtime, repair costs and lost revenue.
GIVING BACK

Ex-Guard continues to support local charities and organizations throughout the year, carrying our founding principles beyond the factory floor.
