XTEK in launching three new ballistic products in Las Vegas

The brand and reputation of HighCom, a profitable US-based body armour manufacturer recently acquired by XTEK, will be leveraged to promote the three new products. Demonstrations, marketing presentations and meetings with distributors and potential customers are also expected.
