Homeland Security Group International Establishes Distribution and Marketing Agreement With XO Armor
Power Shield Attains NIJ Level IIIA Ballistic Capable Glass Protection Rating
SAN DIEGO, CA, Jul 26, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Homeland Security Group International (PINKSHEETS: HMSG) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with XO Armor of Houston, Texas to market and distribute XO Armor's patented safety and security film in California, Arizona and Nevada and also to the US Government. HMSG entered into the agreement during participation in Operation Golden Phoenix on Tuesday.
Under the terms of the agreement, HMSG will act as a distributor of XO Armor products under their private label "PowerShield" to the western region. HMSG will immediately introduce XO Armor to the US Marine Corps for use on military vehicle windows.
"We entered into discussions with XO Armor after reviewing testing data on their patented ballistic laminate processes," said Colonel Jeffrey Powers, CEO of Homeland Security Group International. "I am confident that this is the only company that can substantiate their claims of having produced a NIJ Level IIIA ballistic laminate. We have dealt with other manufacturers in the past but could not claim ballistic capabilities and we ended up marketing only safety and security films. XO Armor is the real deal with an established resume and their testing data is irrefutable."
"Teaming with HMSG, we are able to enter the western region of the US and continue our testing and product upgrades using HMSG assets in California, Arizona and Nevada. Our product has proven itself during testing and we are in negotiations for government contracts. Our association with HMSG will enhance our ability to reach military and civilian clients on the west coast," commented Cindy Kilgore of XO Armor.
The XOArmor/HMSG team has already begun to function with HMSG agreeing to provide testing facilities in the San Diego region. XO armor is a Woman Owned, Total Hub Zone business and also a schedule 70 GSA contract holder
