BALTIMORE, Feb. 11, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of homeland security and related products, today announced several leaders in the security industry have joined the company's reseller network as part of an aggressive expansion into the reseller market. These newly acquired firms are already placing orders including a Secure Scan Portal installed on Wall Street in New York City, earlier this week.
View Systems has designed and implemented several initiatives aimed at increasing sales and revenues. Among the new executives who have joined the company is a twenty-five-year veteran of the security industry. The initial focus is to attract larger, more established resellers to the company's network of distributors. Preliminary results of the programs have led to multiple firms signing agreements with the View including:
-- New York Regional Division of Johnson Controls, a publicly held corporation, which just installed a Secure Scan in a building on Wall Street in NYC.
-- Copp Systems of Ohio, client base includes schools, correctional facilities and government agencies.
-- PSI-Protective Security, 70% of clients are schools, government, and embassies.
-- Securus of Colorado, clients include militaries and NORAD
President of View Systems, Barry Feldman, commented, "We put a lot of efforts into strengthening our foundation in 03' enabling us to focus solely on expanding sales this year. We began late last year with the hire of a Senior Marketing executive. Together we explored and designed several strategies with the reseller network being our core focus. I am pleased to report this initial success, and excited to have the likes of Johnson Control and PSI join us in marketing our technologies. Now that we have the ability to fulfill large scale orders we will continue to add new dealers both domestically and internationally, and aggressively pursue these larger contracts."
