OREANDA-NEWS.  TMM Company's management took part in the press-conference "Use of US military fortification technologies to decrease losses in the ATO area: modern protection for the Ukrainian army, efficient "Wall" project realization" hosted by UNIAN information agency and organized by analytic group Da Vinci AG.

Aaron Ackley, Technical Support Manager of HESCO Bastion Inc., a leading producer of rapidly deployable barrier systems, stated that their company has chosen TMM Ltd. as its representative in Ukraine. A respective agreement was signed between the two companies.

Mykola Tolmachov, CEO of TMM Ltd., presented different types of HESCO's produce, describing its competitive advantages if used in the ATO area. HESCO defensive barriers can provide ballistic protection from all types of small arms, warheads, and even 100-kg charge blasts. The defensive barriers have proven their high quality in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other areas.

HESCO Bastion Inc. is considering an opportunity of local production in Ukraine, as well as allowing export from the Ukrainian plant.

Mykola Tolmachov emphasized that HESCO's defensive barrier can be easily relocated when needed, and its cost is nearly three times lower than of the same structure made of concrete.

According to Igor Stokoz, a representative of HESCO Bastion Inc. in Ukraine, the United States may provide financial support to Ukraine in order to procure the components for the "Wall" project.
