SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ballistic Furniture Systems, Inc., the premier manufacturer of ballistic protection for workplaces and public areas, is launching Amulet™ Retrofit ‘E’ Kits to transform current office systems into bullet-resistant spaces.
With news of recent workplace shootings, the innovative Amulet™ Retrofit ‘E’ Kits provide immediate protection and security to employees without needing to replace existing structures. Fitted with Amulet™ I Ballistic Barriers, ‘E’ Kits are capable of stopping multiple bullets shot from a handgun or rifle.
The ‘E’ Kits are a budget-friendly solution that can be easily installed into wall or panel systems. The retrofitted workspaces look exactly as they had before installation but now have the ability to stop bullets and potentially save lives.
“Organizations can now take significant and affordable steps to protect the lives of their employees,” said Jeffrey Isquith, President and CEO. “The Amulet™ Retrofit ‘E’ kit is revolutionary, not only for its protective bullet-stopping properties, but also because it’s compatible with many standard office systems.”
The new ‘E’ kits come complete with Amulet™ I Ballistic Barrier technology and all required installation hardware. They are available in a variety of sizes and are compatible with several well-known and popular manufacturers’ office system products. Amulet™ I Ballistic Barrier technology is certified bullet-resistant by the National Institutes of Justice and fire-resistant under compliance with Fire Code 117 and California Fire Code 133.
Spurred by recent gun violence occurring in public spaces, Ballistic Furniture Systems debuted in 2013 their industry-first ballistic barrier system in furniture designed for the general public.
