PEARL Protected Announces National Availability of Permanent Escape And Rescue Ladder (PEARL) at Guardian's 2006 Buying Show
Home safety device distributed in U.S. and Canada as part of Guardian Building Products' installation program
(LAS VEGAS) January 27, 2006 - PEARL Protected, creators of the revolutionary Permanent Escape And Rescue Ladder (PEARL) for two- and three-story homes, today announced the nationwide and Canadian availability of its breakthrough product through a distribution partnership with Guardian Building Products, Inc., a division of Guardian Industries. The company will showcase its new home safety device at Guardian's 2006 Spring Buying Show in Las Vegas January 27 - February 1, 2006, at the Paris Hotel & Casino. Guardian Building Products will immediately begin distributing PEARL through its extensive network of dealers and distribution centers in the U.S. (except Florida) and Canada.
"PEARL closes the gap in residential fire safety" said David Duley, co-founder and CEO of PEARL Protected. "We are pleased to have Guardian partner with us in making homes safer across the nation and Canada. Because of Guardian's extensive relationships with leading builders and dealers, and their large network of distribution centers, together we'll be able to serve new home construction customers efficiently, which ultimately increases our ability to make homes safer and save lives."
Currently, many builders are changing their business models to include professionally installed products, eliminating a host of issues related to managing suppliers, subcontractors and inventory. This shift improves the builders' bottom line because it significantly reduces costs while ensuring a quality final product for the homeowner.
PEARL is the latest addition in a series of product manufacturers participating in Guardian's "Builder Installation Solutions" program. "Guardian regularly seeks new, innovative products to enhance our bundled installed product offerings and we believe PEARL is an ideal part of this package," said Roy Burleson, director of Building Solutions for Guardian Building Products. "Being the first distributor to offer this product across the U.S. and Canada allows us to foster deeper relationships with our customers and improve their bottom lines."
