As experts in enhanced security and blast mitigation, in September 2008 Pentagon acquired SDS Group Limited, an established company of over 30 years and a leading supplier of security equipment and products. SDS is also a world leader in security consulting and training.
SDS Group supplies equipment, including highly-specialist security and search equipment, mainly to governments, police forces and security and defence forces in the UK and around the world. SDS has strong relationships with customers and extends their offering to clients by providing expert knowledge and further training and consultancy. This acquisition supports plans for continued expansion of the Group's activities in the security industry which is affected less by the world economic downturn than many sectors.
