Homeland Security Group International (HMSG) Announced Today a Strategic Alliance with Head Lites Corporation (HLC) DEL MAR, Calif., Nov 30, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Homeland Security Group International (HMSG) announced today a strategic alliance with Head Lites Corporation (HLC) of St. Paul, MN to assist in the introduction and marketing of HLC's Enhanced Linear Mobile Optic Lighting systems (ELMO(R) brand). The portable, battery-powered, A-200 Series 200 foot flexible, "light-by-wire" or "ELMO-Lyte(R)," as it is referred to, has been designed for providing a safer, faster emergency ingress/egress or mass evacuation. ELMO has already been highly accepted among the nation's top responder groups, and by Spring '06 will have placement in over 100 countries and a strong presence in our nation's capitol area. The initial area of focus for HMSG will involve the Southern California Fire Service, EMS, security and responder markets that are highly sensitized to both natural disaster and homeland security preparedness. "HMSG has already introduced ELMO to U.S. Marine Corps operational units. ELMO's application on the battlefield as a control measure is enormous, to include marking minefields, assembly areas, and landing zones. The Marine Corps showed immediate interest," stated Col Powers. "ELMO's applications in emergency situations domestically are numerous, to include: marking ingress/egress in buildings, fire rescue egress marking, incident site marking and control, emergency landing zone marking, and traffic control. The ability to lay a 'light-line' to follow or stay clear of can assist a mission requiring fewer personnel as well as increasing the speed of ingress or egress. And it's all about speed when it comes to response," continued Powers. Gary Lesley, President and CEO of HLC, is both pleased and excited with the new relationship because of the vast network of influencers that HMSG and its President and CEO, Jeffrey Powers, Col USMC, Retired, brings to the table. "Col Powers has remained fully engaged with his military associates and the passion he's shown for ELMO and what it can do for them has me excited about the results that will come from that combination," stated Lesley. "We are only interested in 'class-of-one' type products that my team and I are willing to rest our reputations on," explained Col Powers. "And the ELMO-Lyte is clearly a game-changer." "ELMO will help save lives and make tough jobs where lighting is a problem much easier," continued Powers.
