A VERY DIFFERENT type of firm from those who typically are in receipt of SBIR funding. Come to your own conclusion". ___________ ""Our mission is to create seemingly ordinary furniture with the unique ability to protect groups of people and save lives in the event of an active shooting. When extra seconds can literally save lives, protecting students, service members, fellow employees and the general public is our sole objective. Responsible for physical security and site target hardening, our customer is focused on the benefits of adding layers of protection to their physical security strategy. Our customers must strike a fine balance when creating a safe environment without overly alarming those being protected. First Line Furniture perfectly delivers this balance of providing lifesaving security while fostering a non-threatening environment. Moving forward, architectural and design improvements such as concrete bump-outs in corridors, curved hallways and shadow zones in classrooms are just a few of the changes being incorporated into new school and building designs. We believe that it makes sense to take this same proactive approach in adding additional protective layers by way of the furnishings. Vertical markets include K-12, higher education, military, government and corporate.?"
