Point Blank Enterprises and Jersey Tactical Corp. Establish Exclusive Distribution Agreement

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Point Blank Enterprises ("PBE"), the worldwide leader in the production of soft body armor and related protective solutions, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Jersey Tactical Corp. (JTC) to exclusively market and distribute JTC's forcible entry tools to the first-responder community, including local, state and federal law enforcement, fire, emergency services and special operations officers.

Whether it's helping first-response units more effectively deal with active-shooter incidents, hostage rescues, medical emergencies, or fire rescues, having the right breaching tools to gain access to a building, structure, or vehicle is critical to saving lives. In answering the call for next-generation, deployable solutions, Point Blank has teamed up with Jersey Tactical Corp., inventor and holder of 11 patents in advanced breaching technology, to deliver state-of-the-art products such as an Active Shooter Patrol Kit (designed to meet the needs of any first-responder including the individual patrolman on a small department or the more sophisticated SWAT team), rams, pry tools, levers and window rakes, among other solutions.

Michael Foreman, vice president of government and international sales and head of product line management at Point Blank Enterprises, stated, "This agreement with Jersey Tactical is a significant step in the evolution of our best-in-class tactical equipment portfolio. Our companies share a strong heritage in innovation so it seemed only natural that we work together. The partnership will expand opportunities for Point Blank to offer customers a 'one-stop shop' of cutting-edge solutions – something for everyone; from high-performance soft body armor to hard armor plates, ballistic shields and helmets, and now breaching tools that are light and compact. What's also meaningful to our partnership is that we take pride in our products being 100% made in the USA and developed in close collaboration with the men and women who risk their lives every day to protect and serve."

John Dapkins Jr., inventor and co-founder of Jersey Tactical Corp., commented, "We are very excited to collaborate with Point Blank Enterprises as our exclusive distribution partner in the forcible entry and breaching solutions market. Our products are highly complementary; our companies are dedicated to providing the very best American Made equipment; and Point Blank has a great track record of success in market adoption. We look forward to working closely with the Point Blank team in extending the Jersey Tactical value proposition to their customers and the wider industry."

Point Blank and Jersey Tactical representatives will be showcasing the combined product offering at this week's Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference (SHOT Show) taking place at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV, January 14-17.
