MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, May 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- KMA Global Solutions International, Inc. (OTCBB:KMAG) (Frankfurt:VVS) announced today that a major apparel agent to retailers in Canada and the U.S. has agreed to make KMA Global Hong Kong the exclusive supplier of Electronic Article Surveillance products, to be sewn into the garments at their source. Current demand is estimated to be in the millions of units annually for this source tagging program.
"This is an important step for KMA as it establishes its sales force in Asia to contact the major agents that control a large portion of the buying for many of the major retailers," said Jeffrey D. Reid, Chief Executive Officer of KMA Global Solutions International Inc. He continued, "We plan to continue this strategy targeting all major agents and their buying offices."
In recent years, retailers have increasingly demanded floor ready merchandise, a concept that includes 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 sewn-in solution designed for all types of apparel including swimsuits, intimate apparel and jeans, represents the latest technology in source tagging with widespread adoption now underway by apparel manufacturers throughout the world.
