'The markets for Wintec's highly innovative products are many and varied
and are almost limitless' said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROK. 'When
combined with our ROK Homeland Security technology, which we currently
license to law enforcement agencies and are expanding into the private
security sector, we are now able to offer a multi-faceted portfolio of
safety, security and industrial technology products and solutions to a
broad range of governmental and Blue Chip customers globally.'

leading premium tequila brand.
'We have the sales reach into all the relevant markets for Wintec's suite
of products across the globe and we are very excited and enthused at these
additions to our existing product portfolio simply because of the sheer
scale of potential new business which can be realised.' Added Kendrick.

web and security space including high quality mass-market Mobile TV (which
