Ballistic Entry Vestibules Offer Top-Of-The-Line Security for School Entrances

Panel Built's ballistic rated entry vestibules offer high levels of access control at campus buildings' entrances.

Ballistic Entry Vestibules Offer Top-Of-The-Line Security for School Entrances

Panel Built, Inc. is a manufacturer of ballistic rated modular guard houses that are used in government buildings, military bases, and correctional facilities across the United States and abroad. However, their ballistic line of products does not end there! Panel Built also now proudly offers a line of ballistic rated entry vestibules. Panel Built's modular vestibules are a prefabricated addition to the entrance of a building that provides a buffer zone between the outside and the actual inside of the building. This buffer zone is often referred to as a mantrap and offers an additional layer of security for that facility.
In the case of Panel Built's ballistic entry vestibules, they provide an even higher level of security due to the high risk and heavy protection schools can sometimes need. Unfortunately, in certain high threat scenarios that have been seen in recent history, schools can sometimes find themselves against assailants carrying firearms into the building, creating an active shooter emergency. In these cases, a ballistic entry vestibule creates a bullet resistant buffer zone which, along with proper security measures, would help provide additional protection in these scenarios. Panel Built's ballistic entry vestibules are fabricated to meet UL 752 and NIJ ballistic levels.
Panel Built was founded in 1995 by brothers Pat and Mike Kiernan, and began with the construction of pre-manufactured buildings. Today, Panel Built offers a complete line of custom modular offices, mezzanines, security booths, pre-assembled exterior buildings, and cleanrooms. All our multiple product lines are produced on site, in four state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. We offer "A Better Way to Create Space" for all of your building projects.

Hub International announces strategic partnership with Mas Seguros to expand transportation cross-border capabilities

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
