The Academy for Advanced Security and Anti-Terror Training will train Teikei Co. staff.
The Academy for Advanced Security and Anti-Terror Training recently signed a contract to train security guards for Teikei Co. Ltd., the Japanese corporation responsible for the security of the Japanese emperor.
The initial contract, signed with executives from the Japanese corporation on a visit to Israel a few days ago, amounts to several hundred thousand dollars. Israel Military Industries sources said, however, that the initial contract is expected to pave the way to future contracts with the corporation, and with other Asian companies, since the Japanese corporation is a leader in the security industry.
Teikei includes twelve companies specializing in various security sub-sectors. It employs 5,000 security personnel, and has a business turnover of $350 million.
The Japanese security guards will arrive for training at the academy in the coming months.
