Agreements Include Distributors Covering 12 Countries and 36 States in the US

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2019 / Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Wrap') (NASDAQ: WRTC), an innovator of modern policing solutions, today announced that the Company has signed exclusive distributor agreements with seven international distributors covering 12 countries and domestic distributor agreements with nine distributors representing 36 states in the US. Countries represented by the international distributors include Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Korea, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Canada.

Export licenses for these countries have been approved by the US Department of Commerce, with export licenses for other countries currently pending approval.

The Company's strategy is to partner with established distribution companies that are already selling products to law enforcement agencies in their respective regions, enabling the Company to reach more police departments at a quicker pace while also providing a larger infrastructure of support to law enforcement agencies.

'We are excited to announce our partnerships with multiple distributors around the globe,' said Tom Smith, President of Wrap Technologies. 'I have been able to leverage past relationships in order to expedite the process of building our distribution network, and I am confident in their capabilities to support the high demand for the BolaWrap.'

In late May, the company hosted ten distributors for a private training session on use of the BolaWrap. This is an important step enabling them to professionally represent the BolaWrap line of products and accessories.

'I am pleased with the speed at which we have been able to build our distribution network since Tom has joined as President,' said David Norris, CEO of Wrap Technologies. 'We look forward to being able to provide the BolaWrap solution to law enforcement agencies throughout the United States and across the world.'

Video highlights of the distributor training session can be seen here.
