Gaming Laboratories International Acquires Fredericton-based Bulletproof Solutions
LAKEWOOD, N.J.–Gaming Laboratories International, Inc. and its affiliates announced their acquisition of Fredericton-based Bulletproof Solutions on Tuesday.
Bulletproof’s senior management team lead by Steven Burns, Jeff Shaw and Andrew Jefferies will continue in their leadership roles as GLI Group leverages Bulletproof’s IT services capabilities throughout Canada and the United States.
“This is the ideal scenario for Bulletproof to take it to the next level,” said Bulletproof CEO Steven Burns. “We’ve done a good job growing our company to over 80 people in Atlantic Canada, we have a strong foundation of great processes and especially excellent people. GLI Group immediately saw the awesome potential we have to become more and wants to nurture that potential into growth and success for Bulletproof.”
GLI Group maintains that the entire leadership team and executives at Bulletproof will continue to operate the company as they have since its inception.
“We’re very pleased to invest in Bulletproof and their management team,” said GLI Group principal owner James Maida said. “While the GLI Group has business globally, the Atlantic Canada region is critically important to our strategy. We’re excited about the opportunity to expand Bulletproof throughout Canada and globally with New Brunswick as its base of operations.”
Maida also voiced GLI Group’s commitment to jobs and growth in the Maritimes and noted how much potential there is in the area, given the province’s recent announcement on the development of a cybersecurity strategy.
