TORRANCE, CA - (October 22, 2010) - As part of a 5-city tour, United States Ambassador to Singapore David Adelman recently toured Pelican Product's 200,000 square foot Torrance-based facility and met with senior executives to discuss Singapore as a gateway to Asia and Pelican's prospects and activities in the region.

"We are extremely proud to welcome the Ambassador to our corporate headquarters," said Scott Ermeti, Vice President of International Business. "It was gratifying to present our full equipment protection and advanced lighting capabilities and how they relate to our expansion plans in the South East Asian region, Singapore, specifically."

Preferred by professionals who work in extreme situations including aerospace/defense, military, law enforcement and fire safety, Pelican products are backed by an industry-leading guarantee of excellence. From being dropped out of helicopters in Iraq to being rolled over by SUVs in Tanzania, Pelican's case and lighting products are trusted to perform in harsh environments time and time again.

Prior to his appointment he served as a Democratic member of the Georgia State Senate, representing the 42nd District from 2002 to 2010 where he was Minority Whip.
