About Universal Boot

Fernando Beaudoin founded Universal Boot in 1986, from Repentigny, Quebec after he had noticed many wheel immobilizers used in Montreal.

An impressive and rugged aluminum alloy design was born. It fit on a very wide range of vehicles and outperformed the competition in the streets. The newcomer quickly attracted attention with its first major US customer.

With the Universal Boot Model 1 gaining new customers with cities, parking authorities, booting contractors and bailiffs of all kind, the company then turned to cargo security, and Universal Boot started offering the very first conical king pin lock in 1992, years before the competition. The Universal Boot #8 proved incredibly successful and helped the company develop an entirely new market, high security cargo theft prevention.

A change of ownership in 2002 brought to company to its offices in Dorval, Quebec. With more and more private individuals and corporate customers recognizing our expertise in security, the anti-theft segment took shape. Many new products were added as well as additional staff members to serve the growing demand.

Today in 2011, we have increased our annual sales by a multiple from only a few years ago, and are a dominant player in parking enforcement in North America. We also have customers all over the world. We are known and recommended in cargo security.

A very recent change of ownership has taken place, with Universal Boot now 100% owned by relatives of the founder.

President Jacques Dumoulin and his son, Vice-President Oliver Dumoulin, (who is Fernando's nephew) carry on his passion for security, innovation and great customer service!
