Advanced Detection Technology, a global leader in security and access control solutions, announced today that HWH Investments of Birmingham, UK, has assumed 100% ownership of the company.

The acquisition of Advanced Detection Technology is strategically important to HWH Investments and, in particular, will provide one of their group companies, AB Precision (Poole) Limited, which supplies complementary security products, improved access to US markets for its products.

Dale Hiatt, president of Advanced Detection Technology, commented: "We are delighted with this partnership as it allows the companies to pool their energies to provide a full range of complimentary security, IED detection, and detonation equipment. HWH Investments' existing European and international markets will certainly benefit Advanced Detection's global expansion."

Mr Hiatt will continue to serve as president of Advanced Detection Technology. Advanced Detection Technology's LowCam under vehicle surveillance systems are deployed world-wide and used by security personnel in many industries to detect anomalies, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs), from the undercarriage of passenger and commercial vehicles from a safe stand-off distance.

AB Precision specialises in the design and manufacture of explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) and IED disposal (IEDD) equipment. Customers of both companies will benefit from the combined expertise of these leaders in the security industry to provide them with the most comprehensive access control and security solutions.
