Security Industry News; Visualant (OTCBB:VSUL) Subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Sees Growth In Difficult Economic Environment

 

SEATTLE - September 1, 2011 (Investorideas.com Defense Newswire) - Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL), a pioneer provider of industry-leading identification solutions, is pleased to announce today that its subsidiary, TransTech Systems, sees growth in its business in the midst of a difficult economic environment.

 

TransTech continues to enjoy revenue growth year-to-date on a calendar basis over the same period in 2010. There have been a few special projects which have increased revenues. Meanwhile TransTech continues to strengthen and grow its customer base. The number of resellers with orders in the system during the last few months has remained ahead of last year.

 

Typically, low employment translates into less need for corporate or contractor ID badges. Yet while the national employment situation has not improved much over last year, some sectors have increased their requirements. In comparison to last year, July and August revenue has been fueled by decent seasonal strength in the School ID market. This segment has been stronger than 2010 for many of TransTech’s resellers. The back order and current bid pipelines remain reasonably strong as of the end of August. If the trend holds for September TransTech will show growth for the 3rd quarter of the calendar year.

 

Jim Gingo, President of TransTech Systems and an industry leader stated, "We are seeing a distinctive uptick in orders for companies, organizations and government agencies for security and identifications systems and components. We have noticed that many of orders are directed at strengthening existing access control systems and other organizational infrastructure to more strongly tie an individual credential holder to the person holding it. In other words, it no longer seems enough to provide access cards and systems, but rather authentication and authorization have become an integral factor in system efficiencies."

 

TransTech, acquired by Visualant in June of 2010, is the distribution arm for Visualant Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology into the security and authentication marketplace. Regarding SPM, Gingo added, "I believe our parent company, Visualant, and its proprietary SPM technology is poised to ultimately provide even more options for definitively linking a person to his or her credential, be it card, paper or anything else."
