BlastGard® International, Inc., a Colorado corporation, operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BlastGard Technologies, Inc., a Florida corporation established in September 2003. BlastGard® International, Inc. acquired BlastGard Technologies, Inc. effective January 31, 2004, in a transaction that was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, which is a capital transaction and not a business combination.
We have developed and designed proprietary blast mitigation materials. Patent-pending BlastWrap® has been designed to mitigate blasts and suppress flash fires resulting from explosions, regardless of the material or compound causing the explosion. We believe that this technology can be used to create new finished products or designed to retrofit existing products. While the need for this technology has always been present, the security and safety concerns resulting from the September 11, 2001 terrorist acts make the timing of BlastGard's emergence even more important.
