Newmark Security plc

("Newmark Security" or "the Group")

Safetell successfully tests its new Bullet Resistant glazing

Newmark Security plc (AIM:NWT), a leading provider of electronic and physical security systems, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Safetell, has achieved the required safety standards for its leading Bullet Resistant glazing. This approval follows an exhaustive period of testing by both Safetell and Wiltshire Ballistic Services over a period of 18 months. 

Safetell, as the UK's leading provider of fixed and reactive security screens, reception counters, cash management systems and associated security equipment, has redesigned its glazing system and utilises the latest developments in glass and polycarbonate laminates so that the glazing system is lighter and cheaper to produce yet still meets all regulatory approvals namely resistance to ballistic forces commonly found in guns such as a .44 magnum and 12 bore solid slug.

Maurice Dwek, Chairman of Newmark Security plc, said: "I am delighted with the continued efforts and success of Safetell's research team and to achieve the necessary safety standards for Bullet Resistant glazing is a mark of the company's unique skills and leadership in this field. We look forward to announcing further new products and certifications over the coming months that will position Safetell for continued commercial success."
