As a result of the deal, Barrier1 now joins a worldwide team of companies in 25 countries who bring these products to their individual markets as part of PPG’s network of resellers and distributors.

“The United States and Canada have long been on our radar as the next areas for us to engage” says Thorsten Grunwald, President of Perimeter Protection Group. “We have looked at various plans and approaches, and we decided to align with Barrier1 because their new ownership and capitalization provide the tools to take on the task, and their professional team can be rapidly trained to sell, ship, install, maintain, and soon manufacture our products in the USA.”

“These Best-in-Class bollards, barriers, crash arms, gates, wedge barriers and road blockers have met and exceeded the highest crash testing standards in the US, the UK, and Europe” says Mark Borto, president of Barrier1. “With this long-term exclusive relationship, we will be investing heavily across our company in order to bring these high security products to North America. This is a key element of our ongoing strategic growth and market leadership initiatives.”
