ROK Global PLC, the UK-based technology, applications and services company,

Dallas-based Wintec Protective Systems, Inc. to market the GSS-11 range of
glass-strengthening products globally.??Wintec have developed the
easy-to-apply, low-cost and fully patented GSS-11 glass-strengthening
technology using –Hydro-Train– absorption chemistry to bond patented film,
developed by Wintec, to ordinary glass.??GSS-11 is officially approved as
a –Tier 2– bullet-proof protective coating to glass and will be added to
ROK–s suite of innovative and cost-effective security and protection
technologies and services.??–The market for this relatively low-cost
application, which renders ordinary glass bullet-proof to small arms fire,
is almost limitless.– Said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK Global.
–Whether it be for use by government agencies, the military or police to
help protect their buildings, vehicles and personnel, or for shop keepers
to protect their premises from rioters and looters or even for the domestic
home owner as protection against burglars, our JV with Wintec enables our
sales teams in the security market to sell this incredible product
globally.–??ROK Global PLC, founded by US Billionaire John Paul DeJoria and UK serial
technology entrepreneur, Jonathan Kendrick, is listed on the Open Market of
the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and already markets its Homeland Security
service to government and law enforcement agencies worldwide.??–We have the
marketing skills and the sales reach into all the relevant markets for
GSS-11 across the globe and we are very excited and enthused at the
opportunity we have to exploit GSS-11 in what is a huge and under-developed
market in the bullet-proofing of glass.– Added Kendrick.??In addition to
being the co-founder of ROK, John Paul DeJoria is Chairman and CEO of John
Paul Mitchell Systems, the manufacturer of Paul Mitchell hair care products
and is also co-founder of Patron Tequila, the world–s leading premium
