Orlando, FL – December 6, 2011 – Safemark Systems, the hospitality industry's leading provider of guest room safes, announces the recent acquisition of Best Lockers, a Beltsville, Md. based provider of the GoPod™ personal electronic locker system. This acquisition will extend the Safemark line of security solutions from guest rooms to several vertical markets including convention centers, ski resorts, amusement parks, and waterparks.
"With more than 44 years of experience in the concession industry, we believe Best Lockers to be the undisputed provider of personal locker systems," said George Oelschig, President of Safemark Systems. "This partnership will broaden the scope of both product lines as each protects valuables via user-friendly technology that increases guest satisfaction.
"Our new GoPod™ electronic personal storage system provides both security and convenience to guests," Oelschig continues. "With its easy operation, the guest checks-in to the GoPod™ kiosk, inserts a form of payment, selects a personal four-digit code, and the transaction is finalized. The guest has complete daily use of the locker by using their four-digit code. It's simplicity and security at its finest, and today it's available from Safemark."
Led by their President, Daryle Bobb, the Best Lockers team will remain in place at their Beltsville, Md. headquarters. It is the goal of both companies to expand the GoPod™ product line, recipient of the 2010 Innovation of the Year Award by the World Waterpark Association, globally through the Safemark security network."This is a tremendous opportunity for Best Lockers, giving us the major infusion of capital that we were looking for to provide a much larger infrastructure and take GoPod™ to the next level," said Bobb. "We are confident in our new partnership with Safemark and believe that they are the 'best' company to expand the reach of GoPod™ to the worldwide locker market."
