Ceramic Protection Corporation Announces New Order for US Marine Corps
Ceramic Protection Corporation (Calgary, Alberta, Canada), a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced ballistic protective products, has announced that its subsidiary, Protective Products International Corporation (Sunrise, FL, USA) has received a purchase order from a strategic partner, Eagle Industries Unlimited Inc, in the amount of approximately CAD$1 million for F.S.B.E. (Full Spectrum Battle Equipment) ballistic filler components destined for use by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). Deliveries for the order are to be completed by the end of September 2007.
The order, consisting of throat, collar and groin protective ballistic components, are recent additions to the USMC's F.S.B.E. ensemble, which provides Marines with ballistic protection, brief underwater breathing capability, flotation and limited load carriage. The F.S.B.E meets specific mission profiles required by the USMC Force Reconnaissance community, Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Teams (FAST), and MEU (SOC) Helicopter Assault Companies.
Steve Giordanella, CEO of Ceramic Protection Corp, commented: "This order represents a unique example of PPI's diversification of products and manufacturing capabilities to accommodate new and emerging markets. We look forward to continuing to work with Eagle Industries Unlimited, Inc., as well as the USMC, to bring new and innovative products to further protect our deployed soldiers".
