BALTIMORE, Dec. 21, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VYST), a front-line security and surveillance company, today announced a distribution agreement with Fisher Safety, a division of Fisher Scientific International Inc. (NYSE:FSH), who has recently ordered its third Visual First Responder unit.
From the Fisher website: "Founded in 1902, Fisher Scientific International Inc. (NYSE:FSH) is a leading provider of equipment, supplies, and services for the clinical laboratory and global scientific research markets. Through our broad product offering, electronic-commerce capabilities, integrated global logistics network, and manufacturing facilities, we provide more than 600,000 products to over 350,000 customers in 145 countries. Our expertise in delivering leading-edge technologies and products reliably, efficiently, and globally assists in enabling scientific research today for the discoveries of tomorrow. We serve as a one-stop source of products, services and global solutions for a broad range of customers."
The initial two units went to The Civil Support Team in Massachusetts. Those two units were requested and chosen after a comparison was done with competing products. The third unit was purchased as a demonstration unit to display the full potential of the VFR technology to interested parties.
Dave Johansen of View Systems commented on the recent purchase on the demonstration unit, "I believe this is a great indicator of future VFR business through Fisher. This demonstrator is a significant and worthwhile investment which will be used at trade shows, and individual customer demonstrations to increase product awareness and sales."
"We are very excited to have Fisher Safety as a distributor of View Systems technology," stated CEO Gunther Than. "Fisher's vast distribution channels and market presence offers vital exposure that View Systems previously lacked. We anticipate Fisher will distribute a combination of fifty units of the Visual First Responder and Secure Scans during 2005."
