Welcome to Alford Technologies

An EOD operator engaged in serials with Alford Training

Explosive ordnance doesn’t wait, and neither do the operators who deal with it. Alford Technologies exists to protect their lives, and the lives of everyone behind them, through explosive tools that work first time, every time.

We design and manufacture user-filled, patented charges for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED), breaching, and demolition, trusted by military, government, and commercial organisations worldwide.

From Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) clearance to IED defeat, our UK-built tools are backed by in-house R&D and delivered with training tailored to each customer’s operational reality.
