BlastGard's HighCom Security Introduces New Civilian Armor System
Product Line
CLEARWATER FL--(Marketwired - Dec 16, 2013) - BlastGard
International, Inc. (OTCQB: BLGA) ("BlastGard" or the "Company")
wholly-owned subsidiary HighCom Security, Inc., a leading provider
of personal protective equipment, is pleased to announce its new
Civilian Armor System (CAS) product line. HighCom's Civilian Armor
Insert is a level IIIA ballistic resistant insert designed to
withstand multiple shot impacts from handgun fire. Our level IIIA
lightweight CAS inserts are tested according to the National
Institute of Justice and are designed and manufactured in the USA.
Typically used by civilians, our CAS inserts can be placed into
existing backpacks, laptop bags, iPad cases, luggage, or other
cases to provide an economical and lightweight multi-hit protection
option for civilian use at work, school, or during other normal
everyday activities.
Michael J. Gordon, CEO of BlastGard, said, "We are really
excited to be introducing this new product line. HighCom has
distributed close to 1,000,000 pieces of ballistic armor over the
past decade for the military and law enforcement. We have all seen
the violence in our schools and workplaces. This civilian line is
in response to the alarming increase in public shootings. The video
on our website clearly shows its effectiveness. As the father of 2
college students, I wanted a product that my children could have
with them daily by simply inserting a CAS lightweight ballistic
panel into their backpack. I also use one for my laptop case. We
are passionate about saving lives and these panels now provide the
general public with a level of protection they currently don't
have."
