“We are extremely pleased with our operating results,” says Jonathan M. Spiller, president and CEO of Armor Holdings. “While the products division continues to benefit from broad market growth and the Safariland acquisition completed last year, the internal revenue growth within the ArmorGroup Services Division is particularly gratifying.” ArmorGroup Services provides security planning and risk management, electronic security systems integration, consulting and training services, as well as intellectual property asset protection, business intelligence and investigative services.
