ATWEC Technologies (PINKSHEETS: ATWT) announced today it has completed an arrangement with NSI, a division of West Bend Mutual Insurance Company, to offer its KiddieSystem(TM) product line to West Bend Mutual policyholders at a discounted price. West Bend Mutual will further encourage its policyholders to install KiddieVoice(R) by offering a premium discount to those who do.
KiddieVoice(R) is a product designed for childcare operations to guard against a child being left behind in a car, van, or bus. Each product of the KiddieSystem(TM) line has a unique purpose for protecting a child's safety. ATWEC will offer West Bend Mutual policyholders an instant discount for those participating in this offer.
"NSI appreciates the opportunity to partner with ATWEC and provide our valued policyholders with potentially life-saving equipment their businesses need," said Chel Buttchen, NSI supervisor of Childcare and Personal Appearance Programs. "We want to do everything we can to protect the children they care for, as well as the business itself, by providing our customers with important loss prevention tools. KiddieVoice(R) is one of those vital tools."
ATWEC/KiddieSystems(TM) is equally thrilled about the new agreement. Alex T. Wiley, president of ATWEC, said, "We are extremely pleased about the endorsement of our product line from such a respected insurance company as West Bend Mutual. This is an important step for ATWEC as we move into national distribution of our KiddieSystems(TM) product line."
Buttchen noted that in addition to a discount in the purchase price of KiddieVoice(R), NSI would provide an auto liability premium credit to those policyholders that offer proof of installation on all vehicles used for transporting children.
NSI is a strong advocate of promoting awareness of childcare safety and loss prevention. "We believe our partnership with ATWEC will definitely strengthen the message," Buttchen said. "If we help prevent just one tragic accident because of KiddieVoice(R) we've done our job and helped our policyholders do theirs. As ATWEC states, 'One child lost is one too many.'"
"Our association with West Bend Mutual Insurance and their specialty division, NSI, only adds validity to who we are and what we are doing. NSI obviously understands why the KiddieSystems(TM) product line is important and why child care safety is even more important," said Wiley.
