“Two-thirds of all of the cargo locks used for security purposes are made here in Steuben County, Indiana,” was how Gary Nielander, head of Economic Development for the county, explained to me as he showed me a demonstration of TydenBrammall’s World Bolt at the 23rd Annual Northeast Indiana Business and Industrial Conference. “They and Brooks Transguard, another local company, are the leaders in this increasingly key industry.”
The product display of TydenBrammall showed very simple security seals made from flexible cable and wire, to the rigid bolt systems and all the way up to padlock type seals. Earlier this month the company was awarded a U. S. Department of Homeland Security contract for 1 million of their World Bolt container seals. The seals will be used at port and border locations across the country.
Eric Hamilton, of TydenBrammall said, “These seals have to be removed with bolt cutters. It’s not something that can be removed by accident.”
It’s another example of Indiana small town ingenuity, helping to solve issues of homeland security.
