Press Release Summary: Modular building manufacturer Porta-King provides the food
processing and distribution industry with custom guard booths, towers and buildings
designed to strengthen overall security measures industrywide.

Press Release Body: In recent years, the United States has updated its food security
models giving food processing and distribution facilities the opportunity to
strengthen their security measures and prevent potential acts of intentional
contamination. Food safety awareness has also been further heightened by worldwide
aspects related to terrorist and bioterrorist activities.

When is comes to implementing security plans, careful precise planning is a definite
must. Every inch of a processing or distribution plant must be accounted for in
terms of total operational awareness and coverage. For company staff assigned the
responsibility of laying out security, guard and access control systems, there's
nothing more important than attention to detail.

The very detail-driven nature of security lends itself well to custom products that
can be built efficiently to suit any prescribed design. St. Louis-based modular
building manufacturer Porta-King provides the food processing and distribution
industry with custom guard booths, towers and buildings designed to suit new and
existing layouts demanding a specific set of dimensions, options and features to be
effective. The company has been in the business of manufacturing custom security
facilities for some 40 years.

According to Porta-King Vice President Gregg Pearlstone, the company offers custom
design as a standard, because it allows customers a key component of their overall
plan that will work around their existing framework. "Providing a wide-variety of
security products is a unique aspect of our business," he said. "What works for one
particular customer's layout and schematics will more than likely not be an exact
fit for the next customer - that's why we provide custom design solutions at no
additional cost."

Porta-King customers can also choose between galvanized steel and anodized aluminum
construction. Most Porta-King guard building models can also be designed to include
ballistic rated construction. On-site installation and field support are available
to help customers become fully operational as quickly and effectively as possible.

"By building our structures in-house and providing the option of off-load and
anchoring, we're able to eliminate the inevitable downtime and hassles that come
with traditional construction." Pearlstone said. "Turnkey installation and field
support give customers the efficiency and quality they require."

Pearlstone also indicated his company manufactures a full line of towers and
platforms to create elevated structures. "Our PK Structures mezzanine systems are a
cost-effective way to add pre-engineered height and perspective in order to elevate
security personnel for an unrestricted view of an entire operation," he concluded.

Porta-King has been a leader in custom-designed buildings and shelters since 1969.
In addition to guard buildings and towers, Porta-King manufactures pre-fabricated
buildings, a full line of modular wall systems and enclosures, shelters and
structural mezzanines. Porta-King buildings provide shelter, storage and security
solutions for virtually any working environment. For more information, visit
