Eruma plc Contract Win in the Middle East in Yemen

Eruma plc, the AIM traded specialist provider of counter terrorism, intruder prevention products and intelligent lighting, is pleased to announce that it has won a c. US$270,000 contract to install  its Secur™ range of security blinds at a major international Non Government Organisation (‘NGO’) in Yemen. 

Under the terms of the contract, agreed through its security blinds division (‘Security Blinds’), Eruma will provide high level security through the installation of its proprietary security blinds throughout the international development agency’s office building in Yemen.  The contract stipulates that the system must withstand extreme pressure to protect the windows, and was won in a tender situation against some significant security companies.

It is anticipated that the installation, which will be undertaken by Eruma, will be completed in the first half of 2012. The Secur™ product is an ideal solution for counter terrorism due to the high level of protection it provides buildings to mitigate the effects of a bomb blast.  In addition to protecting the windows themselves, the occupants and contents, Secur™ is also effective against intruders.

Eruma Chief Executive Wayne Money said, “Working with this prestigious international development agency highlights Security Blinds’ increasing reputation across the international counter terrorist arena.   We are already working within two other areas with this same NGO and hope that this agreement will pave the way for similar contracts in other countries with difficult security environments.   Finalising this contract is a great way to start the year; with a strong pipeline we are confident that it will be the first of many.”
