CompuDyne Corporation, ("CompuDyne" or the "Company") is a leading provider of products and services to the Public Security market. The Company operates in four (4) distinct segments in this marketplace: Institutional Security Systems, Attack Protection, Federal Security Systems and Public Safety and Justice. Norshield Security Products is the world's largest manufacturer of certified bullet, blast and attack resistant products. These products are installed in thousands of locations around the globe, from the White House to the corner convenience store. Norshield was formed in 1981 to assist the U.S. Department of State in upgrading security at U.S. Embassies throughout the world. Over the past two decades, we have expanded our security knowledge, product line and markets in order to address the world's growing security needs. Norshield's focus is to prevent unwanted intrusion wherever it occurs in our world.
The Attack Protection segment is the country's largest manufacturer of bullet, blast and attack resistant windows and doors designed for high security applications such as embassies, courthouses, Federal buildings, banks, corporate headquarters and other facilities that insist on having the highest level of protection currently available. CompuDyne is a premier provider of Level 8 security products, the highest rating level of commercial security products. The product manufactured is an integrated and structurally secure product where the rated protection comes not only from the glass but also from the frame and encasement, which are specifically designed to become integral parts of the structure into which they are to be installed. Existing product installations number in the thousands and range from the Middle East to the White House. Working under contracts from the United States Department of State, the segment's largest customer, Attack Protection is the largest supplier of bullet and blast resistant windows and doors to United States embassies throughout the world. Products are also sold to drug stores, convenience stores, and banks to secure drive through facilities. Other commercial applications include guard booths, tollbooths, cash drawers and other similar items. Additionally, this segment designs and installs both fixed and pop-up bollards and barrier security systems. The Attack Protection segment also manufactures a highly sophisticated fiber optic sensor system, known as Fiber SenSys, used to detect physical intrusion. This application is designed to protect large perimeters including such applications as Federal facilities, oil fields, airport tarmacs, public utilities, nuclear reactors and water systems. In addition, it has been installed to protect the perimeters of numerous private estates and other similar properties. A related product is SecurLan, which protects data lines from physical intrusion using a fiber optic technology similar to the Fiber SenSys technology.
