August 13, 2025 — BlastOne, a global leader in surface preparation solutions, is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with two premier investment firms: Kaltroco and Five V Capital.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in BlastOne’s 50-year history. The investment will enable the company to:

• Accelerate innovation in developing the next generation of market-leading products and services.
• Expand global reach into new geographies and customer segments.
• Create enhanced opportunities for customers, employees, and partners.

“Our team has worked hard to build BlastOne into a trusted global brand, known for solving tough challenges and delivering exceptional outcomes,” said Matthew Rowland, Global CEO of BlastOne. “Partnering with Kaltroco and Five V gives us the added resources, expertise and networks to take that commitment even further – reaching more markets, innovating faster and creating lasting value for our customers and our people.”

Kaltroco and Five V’s investment in BlastOne is an endorsement of the strength of BlastOne’s name, service quality and market position. The BlastOne core mission – to improve the lives of the people we touch and extend the life of infrastructure that our customers protect – remains unchanged, and the same leadership and team will remain in place to ensure its culture and values remain intact as it grows. Importantly, BlastOne’s existing shareholders, including Founder and Advisor Tim Gooden and Global Technical Director Graeme Thomas, will remain significant shareholders and continue to play active roles on the Board.

Tim Gooden added, “It’s been a privilege to build BlastOne alongside such a dedicated team and to earn the trust of our customers over the years. By partnering with Kaltroco and Five V, we’re not replacing what makes BlastOne special — we’re building on it. This is about strengthening our capabilities, expanding our reach, and creating long-term value for both our customers and our people.”
