ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Byrna Technologies Inc. (“Byrna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BYRN), a technology company specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative less-lethal personal security solutions, today announced a 1,000 launcher order from Argentina’s Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria (“PSA”), the federal agency responsible for airport security across the country.

The PSA initially purchased Byrna’s less-lethal pistols and rifles in April. Since then, the agency has been training officers to use the launchers and has recently begun deploying them in airports across the nation.

“This latest deployment of Byrna launchers with the PSA further highlights our expanding presence in Argentina and the increasing normalization of less-lethal solutions in both the country and the region broadly,” said Bryan Ganz, CEO of Byrna Teachnologies. “As our international footprint continues to grow, we are gaining strong traction with law enforcement agencies that are embracing less-lethal alternatives. These deployments reinforce our leadership in the evolving landscape of public safety, and we are looking forward to seeing the positive impact Byrna has across Argentina.”

This order is another significant step in Byrna’s expansion across Argentina. Earlier this year, Byrna secured a 10,000 launcher order with the Córdoba Provincial Police. The police departments of Lanús, Tigre, and Ezeiza, municipalities near Buenos Aires, Argentina have also been using Byrna launchers and ammunition in their units.
