HENRY BROS. ELECTRONICS, INC. ANNOUNCES OPENING OF SECOND TEXAS OFFICE
Monday 02 March 2009
New Houston Office Strategically Positions Company in One of the Country’s Largest Security Markets
FAIR LAWN, N.J., Mar. 2, 2009 -- Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc.(NASDAQ: HBE),a turnkey provider of technology-based integrated electronic security solutions, announced today that it has opened a new office in Houston, Texas to meet the increasing need for integrated security solutions throughout the Gulf Coast region.
Henry Bros.’ Dallas office has served the Texas market for over 14 years. Since the appointment of John Noble as Vice President and General Manager of the Company’s Texas Division in September 2008, a strengthened sales and management team have identified a number of growth opportunities throughout Texas and the Gulf Coast area.
“With the restructuring of the Texas Division under the leadership of John Noble, we quickly recognized that we faced a great opportunity to meet the immediate need for technically advanced integrated security solutions by a number of vertical markets throughout the state,” said Jim Henry, Chief Executive Officer of Henry Bros. “As these vertical markets extended beyond the reach of our Dallas office, we realized that by opening a Houston office, we could ensure we captured additional growth markets along the Gulf Coast. Growth markets we feel demonstrate even greater and more complex security needs, include the transportation and petro-chemical markets.”
John Noble, Vice President and General Manager Texas Division, commented, “The Henry Bros. Texas Division is composed of a strong group of security industry leaders with exceptional talent and experience. We have seen an overwhelming demand for our services by businesses operating throughout Texas and along the Gulf Coast in the transportation, petro-chemical and industrial markets. Our Houston office is positioned to take advantage of these markets and become a growth engine for Henry Bros. expansion across the country.”
The Houston office is located at 8601 Jameel St., Houston, Texas. The office officially opened on March 1, 2009.
