Sealock Inducted Into ISMA - Sealock Container Seals Recognized

Sealock Security Systems, Inc., manufacturer of the multi-patented Sealock cargo container security system, has recently been inducted into the International Seal Manufacturers Association (ISMA). This recognition gives users of Sealock even greater confidence that they have selected one of the highest quality devices available in the cargo security marketplace. ISMA is a non-profit, independent association of the most prominent security seal manufacturers whose members provide over 80% of the world's supply of high security freight container barrier seals. Membership in ISMA is both prestigious and exclusive, and serves as a testament to a corporation's steadfast dedication to conducting its business with the utmost integrity.

ISMA keeps in close contact with law enforcement and Customs officials, monitors all the latest transport industry trends, and serves as consultant to security seal users across the globe. ISMA members understand that security seal manufacturers must do more than simply sell products to the transport industry - they should also guarantee the reliability of their products and the integrity of their organizations as part of their commitment to the overall improvement of cargo security.

Sealock Security Systems, Inc. introduced Sealock in 1995, and it has since won numerous awards and gained widespread acclaim throughout the industry. The Sealock is both a container seal and lock. By affixing to the container's keeper bars, the Sealock prevents the doors from swinging open and can only be removed using an angle grinder, reciprocal saw, acetylene torch, or other similarly strong power tool. Moreover, because it is a complete sealing and locking system, removing the Sealock means that the container's all-important seal must also be removed during an attempted break-in. The payoff: making containers tamper-proof.

When cargo containers leave a location, their doors are sealed. The number on the seal is a tracking mechanism for that particular container. If the seal is removed during the container's voyage, that tampering will be revealed when the container reaches its destination.making it easy for the cargo owner to identify in whose care the container was at the time of the tampering. This information is vital for the insurance companies that insure such shipments and for Customs & Border Protection to be assured that a weapon of mass destruction isn't being smuggled into the U.S. inside an otherwise legitimate importer's container. However, more than 99% of the estimated 15-million containers in use today have a built-in design defect that will allow a thief, smuggler, or terrorist to breach the container without ever even touching the seal. Therefore, through no fault of their own, most conventional seals cannot prevent such a covert method of break-in and this is what spawned the design of the Sealock line of products. With a Sealock, such confusion and potential disaster can be avoided. Because the Sealock is both a container seal and lock, if the lock is broken, the seal will be removed. At the next stop, the container will be checked, and the break-in will be detected.
