Aeroturn announced that the company was selected as the winner of the 2018 Platinum GOVIES Government Award for its superior Optical Glass Portal Turnstile by Security Today magazine, the only integrated product and technology magazine reaching the entire security market.

The winners were announced at the ISC West show in Vegas on April 11, 2018 and honorees were recognized by Security Today for their outstanding government security products in a variety of categories.

Aeroturn’s Optical Glass Portal Turnstile was selected as the platinum winner in the perimeter protection category; proving that the company’s dedication to product quality and engineering over the years has placed them at the top of the game.

1105 Media launched its government security awards program in 2009. In 2011, this successful program became known as The GOVIES. Participation in the program has been as strong as ever this year as government security continues to be an ongoing concern.

Winners were selected by an independent panel of judges from the security industry using criteria including Features, Innovation, User Friendliness, Interoperability, Quality, Design, Market Opportunity, and Impact in the Security Industry, Technical Advances, and Scalability.

Based on their work in the government sector, Aeroturn was the clear winner in the perimeter protection category.

“We are extremely proud to have been selected as a Platinum winner for our turnstile solutions and look forward to continuing our work with government agencies for years to come,” states Michael Stoll, VP Technical Sales & Marketing.

“Many federal agencies require unique perimeter security solutions that are not commonly available in the marketplace and our Glass Portal Turnstile is one of those distinct solutions that offers a fully patented {all unique claims} mechanism with operational function that is unprecedented for speed of passage, safety of motion, endurance and reliability.”

The translating hinge motion which never has the swinging glass panels moving towards a pedestrian is extremely safe and highly secure; meeting the stringent needs of controlling access to a federal facility.

Aeroturn continues to raise the bar in the turnstile industry and will be exhibiting at the ASIS NYC trade show on May 16th and 17th at the Javits Center in NYC. Attendees can stop by booth #506 and see why Aeroturn’s turnstile solutions has become the game changer in the industry.

Son of a Salesman

For a lot of us who have made the jump to starting our own business, there’s a foundation of knowledge that came from those who mentored us before our journey began. When reflecting my own journey in the alarm industry, it’s abundantly clear that my foundation is my father. I’m the proud son of an alarm salesman. My dad sold alarm systems door to door, and he sold a lot of them. Aside from being a very personable guy, Dad knocked on more doors, walked into more papered storefronts, and chased more U-Hauls than anyone else I know. He hustled hard and he built lasting relationships along the way. It was not only a recipe for success, but also an example of s stick-to-itiveness for me and my siblings to follow. As kids, we would sometimes watch from the backseat as Dad “walked up deals” whenever a new family or business moved into the neighborhood. He’d walk right up and introduce himself, and would always smile and listen along with caring, thoughtful eyes. It never seemed like a salesman pitching to prospects. It was like he was talking to new friends. When he was invited to go inside the business or home, we would wait in the car with anticipation. More often than not, he returned with a signed contract in hand and the whole family cheered for his victory. It wasn’t uncommon for us to run into those same folks at the local grocery store, church, or a restaurant and he would go out of his way to greet them warmly--never missing the opportunity to introduce us kids with a proud smile. His interactions with his customers outside of their normal business dealings were always returned with warmth—there were lots of hugs, back pats, and double-handed handshakes. Not only were they his customers, but more importantly to him they were friends, too. Our favorite restaurants who were also his clients always welcomed our family on Friday and Saturday nights. Dad often paid the check with gift cards the restaurateurs traded for their alarm system and cameras. He was always sure to tip the waiter separately in cash. Over the years, Dad sold thousands of alarm systems and along the way, he demonstrated to me how to build a successful business through strong relationships, extraordinary service, and an outstanding reputation. Dad also taught me that doors open for those who knock. Throughout the years, the lessons he taught me about persistence, integrity, and relationship-building have helped me in my own career. While I long ago decided not to join the family alarm business, I did become an alarm salesman. Today, I own a national security distribution company where we sell alarm systems to thousands of alarm dealers nationwide. Like my dad with his customers, many of mine have become great friends, some of which I consider family. When people ask me why I didn’t join the family business, I explain that if I was to stand any chance of selling more alarm systems than my old man, I knew I’d have to sell them wholesale!
