LAS VEGAS, Dec. 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Buffalo Group/Efficacy (Pink Sheets:EFCY), specializing in homeland security products and business development, today announced that the company has signed a letter of intent to purchase Wintec Industries of Vancouver, Canada. Wintec Industries Inc. holds the proprietary rights and markets a state of the art product called Traumavest (www.traumavest.com), a lightweight multi-dimensional bullet and stab resistant vest.
"The purchase of Wintec gives us the unique ability to market, produce and distribute Traumavest worldwide which complements our existing line of products and services," said Perry Cook, President of Efficacy, Inc. "Building shareholder value with a company such as 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."
Cook said the Wintec Traumavest offers other law enforcement safety accessories such as groin protectors and throat slash guards which all have achieved NIJ and NATO standards and certification. In addition, all of Wintec products are available in flame retardant Nomex III covering for added protection.
