NEW YORK, August 30/ -- Acro, Inc. (OTC BB:ACRI), a developer of explosive detection solutions, today announced the appointment of Bensan Mumessillik Import, Export, Industry and Trade Company (Bensan Mumessillik Ith.Ihr. San. ve Tic.) as a distributor in Turkey.
"The appointment of a distributor in Turkey is an important milestone in our global marketing expansion efforts and fulfillment of our channels strategy," said Shai Markevitch, Acro's Chief Marketing Officer. "The agreement with Bensan Mumessillik emphasizes our commitment to respond to the growing market demand for our product."
"Turkey has suffered from terrorism and we are convinced that ACRO-P.E.T. will help the Turkish security forces fight terror by better detecting improvised explosive devices," said Yomtov Soryano, Managing Director of Bensan Mumessillik. "We believe that ACRO-P.E.T. has a substantial market potential in Turkey."
Bensan Mumessillik will distribute Acro's groundbreaking patented peroxide explosive tester -ACRO-P.E.T. The innovative pen-like tester is able to identify peroxide-based explosives, such as Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), which are almost impossible to identify, since they do not contain nitro groups or colors and may appear in a variety of shapes and forms, including liquid. Improvised explosive devices based on materials containing peroxide have increasingly been used in recent years by various terrorist organizations.
ACRO-P.E.T. is designed to support the widest range of law enforcement and military operating environments, including airports, border control facilities, streets and battlefields, among others. It is a vital tool in the global war against terrorism.
