LAS VEGAS, Jan. 31, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Buffalo Group/Efficacy (Pink Sheets:EFCY), specializing in homeland security products, announced the completion of the acquisition of Wintec Industries, the maker of Tramavest, a lightweight multi-dimensional bullet and stab resistant vest.
Perry Cook, the President of the Buffalo Group commented, "We are very excited to announce the closure of the Wintec Industries acquisition, and the addition of Tramavest to our security product line. We feel this acquisition will provide The Buffalo Group with increased sales revenues, and will be one of our core security products going forward in 2005."
Mr. Cook also stated, "The acquisition of Wintec who has developed customers in the U.S., Canada and Europe potentially opens the door for a number of other Efficacy products as well. We have targeted other companies similar to Wintec which we believe will give us a step up on our competition."
Traumavest (www.traumavest.com) is a lightweight, multi-dimensional bullet and stab resistant vest, which offers law enforcement safety accessories such as groin protectors and throat slash guards. In addition, all of Wintec products are available in flame retardant Nomex III covering for added protection. Tramavest currently meets NIJ and NATO standards and certification.
