See back page for upcoming events! wearestadium.com Heavy investment enables Eagle to soar An unrivalled range of accredited high security products is the promise PSSA member Eagle Automation Systems has made to the counter terror community, governments, security forces, architects and security consultants combatting the threat of terrorism. Perimeter protection manufacturer Eagle has invested heavily in acquisitions, new products, a new factory and accreditation testing to ensure they are always moving forward and reacting to market needs and client expectations. Eagle’s new 430sqm factory, a third unit at their Essex headquarters, includes a 5-tonne overhead gantry crane and ample space for increased production capacity and multiple product factory tests. Indeed, just this month the first 50mph PAS68 gate rolled off the new assembly line before heading to Singapore for installation. Earlier this year, Eagle bought the intellectual property (IP) rights for a range of SR1, 2, 3 and 4 and CPNI rated turnstiles from the Clarke Instruments administration. Eagle MD David Ashby says: “Clarke was a great business with the widest range of rated turnstiles and, to be frank, the industry would be at a loss without it. So, we are currently going through the audits with the Buildings Research Establishment (BRE) to novate the ratings across to Eagle, including an SR5 turnstile that Clarke never got Red Book listed, and intend to launch the full range at the International Security Expo (ISE) at Kensington Olympia in December.” The new range of turnstiles will be both on Eagle’s stand at ISE and feature as part of the BRE’s Live Attack Zone. The Clarke deal along with the earlier acquisition of IP rights to the APT Security PAS68-rated and impact-tested security systems has extended Eagle’s range to a full portfolio of gates, barriers, blockers, bollards, turnstiles, street furniture and even cycle hoops. Ashby concludes: “We will continue to invest heavily in research and development in response to changing terror threats and customer needs. “And we promise to keep growing our unrivalled range of HVM products for our counter-terror, Government, consultant and architect customers.” For more information: call 01992 524800‬, email sales@eagleautogate.co.uk or visit www.eagleautogate.co.uk Eagle has invested heavily in acquisitions, new products, a new factory and accreditation testing.
