Trumbauersville, Pa. - North American Specialty Glass (NASG) demonstrated it’s commitment to the Middle East defense market by participating in IDEX 2007, the International Defense Exhibition held at the Abu Dubai International Exhibition Center, February 18 through the 22 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Featuring more than 900 exhibitors from 50 countries, IDEX 2007 ranks as one of the largest defense exhibitions in the world catering to Land, Sea and Ground-to-Air defense systems and equipment. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity for key decision-makers from around the world - defense ministers, chiefs of staff and senior officers from army, navy and air force - to network with defense equipment manufacturers and systems solutions providers.

Eric Carlson, sales manager for NASG armored transparency products, stated, "IDEX has become a first-class showcase that is the focal point for defense product acquisition in the Middle East, Arabian Gulf, North Africa and Asia. The exhibition provides a venue for meeting industry suppliers, potential customers, military procurement officials and key industry analysts."

Mr. Carlson went on to say, "The IDEX experience is an important step in the process of providing awareness for NASG armored transparencies in the global defense industry, an industry that annually spends more than 1 trillion dollars on defense weapon systems and technologies."

The primary focus of NASG’s armored transparency products is to provide innovative, value-creating solutions for a wide range of armored glazing systems, manufactured in full compliance with major international ballistic standards, suitable for armored military, law enforcement and commercial vehicles, as well as executive and personal automobiles and trucks.
