Jim Gang, Principle and Director of Business Development for Twenty-first Century Armor Solutions, and our senior management team, were still hammering out the final details for the Latin America territory during Mr. Gelinas visit. By close of business on Friday, we agreed on the proposed distribution model and marketing plan.” Lagow added, “This is a significant revenue stream for Safeguard, and provides another layer of protection for our clients there. With the addition of the Latin America territory to our distribution channel and once the business line is matured, this will add approximately $12 million per year to our revenue stream, generating a 10% pre-tax profit to our bottom-line.”
