Small Dallas Co. Gets Multi-Million Dollar
Linear & Aigis Mechtronics to Merge;
Contract from ADT ADT Security Services announced it has awarded up to a $12 million dollar contract to Dallas-based HyperGraphic Impres- sions Inc. to produce millions of yard signs for ADT customers. The small Dallas com- pany was in competition with several for- eign firms to capture the business. ADT needs additional yard signs because it is growing, the company said. In May, ADT acquired Brink’s Home Secu- rity Holdings Inc., which had recently changed its name to Broadview Security. This added 1.3 million Broadview custom- ers to ADT’s North American residential and small business operations, which now serve more than 6 million customers under the ADT brand name. “This contract will allow our company to
expand its workforce by up to 50 percent, creating good-paying jobs with benefits for American workers,” said Ross Spic- er, owner of HyperGraphic Impressions. “This contract is an affirmation of the hard work and dedication of our workers and their commitment to their jobs and our company and our customers.” The bright blue-and-white octagon-
shaped ADT yard signs, which will come off the assembly line at a rate of 8,000 per day, will include features such as engineer- grade reflective sheeting, a steel washer top safety cap, special ink to resist yellow- ing and a UV-resistant clear coat to extend durability. ■
Expand Offerings in Commercial Space Linear LLC announced it plans to consolidate its business with Winston- Salem, N.C.-based Aigis Mechtronics Inc., a manufacturer of electronic video surveillance and access control equip- ment. Aigis Mechtronics’ functions and products will be integrated with those of Linear during the first quarter of 2011. The company brings to Linear a 20-year history as a technology-driven designer of components that protect, position and mount CCTV surveil- lance equipment. Its products are used in retail, finance, education, hospitality, government, office buildings and parking areas; and include monitors, cameras, camera housings and mounts, integrated camera/housing packages, pan-tilt units and entry turnstiles. Aigis Mechtronics also has long served original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) with custom and private-labeling services. “The integration of Aigis Mechtronics’ products expands and complements our already robust presence in commercial security and access systems,” said Todd Hokunson, vice president of sales for Linear Electronic Systems. Aigis’ customers will benefit from Lin-
ear’s world-class training and technical support, and, will be unaffected by the consolidation, according to Hokunson. The Aigis sales team will remain as the primary liaison for the product line. Tech- nical and customer support functions, along with other business operations, will be combined at Linear’s headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif., and at its manufacturing facility in Casanovia, Mich.
