US order for barriers

by Mark Rowe

The security bollard manufacturer Safetyflex Barriers has secured a million-dollar deal to take its crash rated products to the US.
The Coventry-based firm has landed an order which will see its anti-terrorist bollards protecting multiple sites across the US.

The deal follows Safetyflex landing its first US order in 2014 and on the back of the firm gaining a patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Marcus Gerrard, director at Safetyflex Barriers, which is part of the GME Springs Group, is pictured left, with Rob Gerrard. Marcus said: “Our anti-terrorist barriers and bollards have massive export potential, which is being reflected in the strong level of interest and orders we’ve received all over the world.

“Since landing our first order in the US, we’ve entered into a partnership agreement with a US-based distributor which is supporting us to realise the full potential of our products across North America. This latest deal is among the biggest export orders we’ve fulfilled. Exporting is vital to the UK economy and we’re proud to be taking our innovative technology and products to new markets, flying the flag for Coventry, the West Midlands and the UK.”

Safetyflex Barriers was launched by the GME Springs group in 2008 and uses innovative spring steel technology in its barriers, bollards and crash fences to stop vehicle-borne terrorist and criminal attacks against any key asset.

Marcus added: “The reputation of Safetyflex Barriers has grown enormously over the last few years and companies are now literally knocking down our door to work with us. Our crash rated products are ideal for protecting banks and shop fronts from ram-raids, or accidental damage, up to key high-security sites and utilities companies.”
