GE Interlogix-Supra Unit Introduces Hinged License Plate Frame For Fleet Key Storage; Elante Provides Concealed Access for Preventive Maintenance

    SALEM, Ore.--Sept. 12, 2002--The GE Interlogix-Supra business, a unit of the General Electric Company , announced today the introduction of a hinged license plate frame for its Elante(TM) key storage tube. Elante can be hidden behind the license plate for concealed access without drilling visible holes. Fleet managers will now be able to service passenger cars or trucks where space for permanent installation is limited.
    Elante is a solid metal key storage tube designed to solve key control issues with fleet vehicle servicing. Elante provides quick and convenient access to fleet vehicles for preventive maintenance, multiple drivers and vehicle breakdowns. Service technicians will reduce downtime due to unavailable or misplaced keys while increasing their productivity by having the keys where they are needed -- at the vehicle.
