LIVINGSTON, N.J., Sept. 26, 2007 — E.J. Brooks Company of Livingston, New Jersey (USA), the world’s leader in mechanical, tamper evident security seals, announces that it has received a United States patent for an adjustable cable electronic seal (U.S. Patent No. 7,239,238). This patent is in addition to two other patents that Brooks has received for designs necessary to produce an ISO compliant electronic seal (eseal).

Brooks is the world’s only manufacturer that produces proven, reliable, ISO — compliant, patented, mechanical components for electronic seals.

Brooks now has two eseals to suit a variety of electronic security and tracking purposes and with this patent will be developing a third.

The Brooks Hyperion eseal, is an EPCGlobal Gen2 compliant, tamper evident, electronic seal based on the Company’s popular Secur-Grip(R) and Secur-Pull(R) adjustable strap seals.

As security and asset tracking initiatives continue to be implemented across the globe, electronic security seals are considered a cost effective security and visibility solution within the logistics process. Whether used alone or in conjunction with other security devices, these products assist shippers, retailers, banks and logistics providers protecting their cargo and equipment against theft and terrorism around the world.

Brooks is the world’s largest manufacturer and distributor of ISO 17712 compliant high security intermodal bolts and cable seals as well as tamper evident indicative metal and plastic security seals. Brooks is the only security seal manufacturer that is C-TPAT validated.
