US Glass Security

Another busy company is Atlanta-based ShatterGARD™, which issued a news release just four days after the attacks urging government officials to secure its buildings’ glass with window film. The release was sent to 5,000 media outlets, including newspapers, magazines and major television networks such as CNN and NBC. Jordan Frankel, president of the company, said Fox News had already featured a 3-minute special about window film and its safety benefits since receiving the release and he has also received word that CNN may run a similar feature.

Before the attacks, ShatterGARD’s BlastGARD™ film was applied to the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare center, the U.S. Defense District Depot, the U.S. Naval Post Graduate Academy, Wells Fargo Bank and the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in New York.

Since the attacks, ShatterGARD has been involved in the application of film at hope Air Force Base in North Carolina, Air National Guard of Pennsylvania, Air National Guard of Arizona, Hill Air Force Base of Utah, U.S. Dept. of Army in Korea, Barber Point Naval Center in Hawaii, and the Jimmy Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta, where the former present resides for one week out of every month, according to Frankel.
