MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Oct. 4, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:KMAG) announced today that the Company entered into an agreement to supply custom sew-in source tagging solutions to the vendors of a leading International casual wear apparel manufacturer and retailer.
KMA's source tagging program, anticipated to consist of approximately 10 million units, is targeting apparel for the Spring 2007 season with shipments to the brand's Canadian suppliers now underway. While this program is initially specific to merchandise destined for stores in Canada, KMA aims to expand its distribution internationally by providing custom sew-in source tagging solutions to U.S. and European retailers that carry this well-known brand.
Jeffrey D. Reid, Chief Executive Officer of KMA Global Solutions International, Inc., commented, "We are excited to work with one of the world's most recognized names in quality apparel, fulfilling part of our strategic objective to target internationally known brands for high volume EAS programs. This new client joins a growing list of companies that we currently serve in the retail apparel sector, demonstrating KMA's ability to provide cost-effective EAS solutions designed to combat the $40 billion annual cost of inventory shrink in the global retail industry."
In recent years, retailers have increasingly demanded retail floor-ready merchandise which includes Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) protection. Under KMA's source tagging program, security tags are embedded in products or affixed to packaging at the point-of-manufacture. The company's patented NEXTag(tm), a low cost sewn-in solution designed for all types of apparel including swimsuits, intimate apparel and jeans, represents the latest technology in source tagging and has experienced widespread adoption by apparel manufacturers throughout the world.
