STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 5, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Gunnebo, the international security group, has received an MEUR 1.6 order through its Danish subsidiary Gunnebo Protection A/S for outdoor perimeter protection for a new state prison near Horsens on Jutland in Denmark.
The EU procurement of security fencing and gates includes outdoor perimeter protection which, in combination with a wall, will create two "no-go" zones, all with the object of ensuring maximum security and preventing attempts to escape.
"Gunnebo Protection in Denmark has already supplied outdoor perimeter protection in the form of high-security fencing and gates for many prisons and detention centres in Denmark. This new order will be installed next year," says Jens Bollerup, president of Gunnebo Protection A/S.
"Our success in winning this order for the new state prison on Jutland against competition from other leading European suppliers demonstrates how well suited our product range is for high-security perimeter protection at newly built prisons, for instance. We have also won major orders for perimeter protection systems from harbours and airports recently," says Philip Mozes, head of the Gunnebo Perimeter Protection division.
Gunnebo is an international fast growing security group with 110 companies located in 32 countries. The Group has sales to a further hundred markets via agents and distributors. Annual turnover amounts to some MEUR 820. Gunnebo's security products mainly include fire and burglar resistant safes, security products for banks and cash handling, electronic security systems, fire protection, entrance control and access control, alarm centres and indoor and outdoor perimeter protection. Gunnebo has at its disposal some of the world's leading brand names in security: Chubbsafes, Fichet-Bauche, Rosengrens, Ritzenthaler, Garny, Leicher and Elkosta.
