Delray Beach, FL - (BUSINESS WIRE) – July 1, 2009 – Best Security Industries, a global leader in the electronic article surveillance and CCTV loss prevention products for the retail security industry, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Unisen assets from Telsec Corporation.  Under the terms of the acquisition, Best Security Industries (BSI) will add customers, reseller relationships and EAS product sourcing to its current ongoing EAS operations. 

Founded in 1994, Unisen is a leading manufacturer of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) solutions to help retailers reduce shoplifting in their stores. The company specializes in developing unique and cost-effective Acousto-Magnetic and Radio-Frequency hard tags and labels, as well as EAS accessories that are compatible with the EAS systems of companies such as Sensormatic and Checkpoint Systems. Unisen is headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida and will operate as a division of Best Security Industries.  BSI is headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida and is also a manufacturer and distributor of security loss prevention products for retailers throughout the Americas.

“The addition of Unisen to the BSI core business is a terrific win for both companies and their customers” stated Steve Hall, president and CEO.  “Both companies come from the same background and business model, and the international customers of Unisen complement the focus of the Americas from BSI’s perspective.  Now as the third largest EAS provider, we can better leverage our manufacturing and buying power to lower costs and increase availability for all of our customers and distributors worldwide.”

“BSI and Unisen have worked together to help each other for a long time” stated Stuart Seidel, President of Telsec and Unisen.  “It makes sense in today’s economy to continue to drive cost out of these important loss prevention products for retailers around the world.  Retail theft is at an all time high, and this positions us to help our customers and to continue our mutual growth goals.”

Under terms of this acquisition, Telsec will continue to work on its core business of new product development, logistical leadership for All Tag RF labels for the Americas and its eTag recirculation business under Seidel.  In addition, Seidel and Andrew Gilbert, vice president of sales for Telsec will also work with BSI to continue the customer relationship and revenue generation for the newly formed division of BSI.  “Our customers won’t notice a difference” commented Gilbert.  “Internally, we will be able to keep more stock and ship even faster to ensure availability of these products.”
