Pentagon Protection, a provider of safety and security products for commercial, architectural and automobile glass, said 8 December 2005 that it has officially opened its new Regional Office and application facilities in Bahrain. An initial order has already been received by the Bahrain office from a major school for bomb-blast resistant film. The order, covering four sites in Bahrain, has an estimated total value of GBP 90,000. Additional recent overseas contract gains in the Middle East totaling GBP 107,000 include the installation of blast resistant FT800 safety film and anchoring for a major petrochemical company in Egypt, and FT800 film, anchoring and Bullet Proof windows for another petrochemical company in Algiers. PPR is also undertaking further projects worth a total GBP 150,000 in Qatar, Uzbekistan, Sudan, Iran and Dubai. Chief Executive Graham Bannerman said: “Our regional facility in Bahrain will enable us to deal more effectively with the execution of key contracts and simultaneously assist in winning more business”. “We are already currently engaged in many significant projects throughout the Middle East, where key organisations are seeking to improve protection for their personnel”. “Whilst serving both the commercial buildings and automotive sectors in the region, our focus is principally the installation of bomb-blast security films in combination with our new “anchoring“ solutions. It is well known that 90% of all injuries during a terrorist bomb are caused by flying glass. Our bomb-blast protective systems for glazing are designed to protect lives and reduce injuries”.
