TASER® International, Inc. Appoints Founder of Glock, USA
as Vice President of Sales and Marketing
SCOTTSDALE, AZ., June 25, 2001 –TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR), a provider of advanced lesslethal weapons for use in the law enforcement, private security and personal defense markets, announced today that
Karl Walter will join the company as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing effective July 1, 2001.
Mr. Walter was a co-founder of GLOCK®, Inc., a subsidiary of GLOCK GmbH, an Austrian semi-automatic pistol
manufacturer, from 1985 until 1992. As General Manager of the U.S. subsidiary, Mr. Walter was directly
responsible for making GLOCK the weapon of choice for police agencies throughout the United States. Under Mr.
Walter’s leadership, GLOCK Inc. grew from a startup with zero sales to the market leader. Following his tenure
with GLOCK Inc, Karl worked as Director of Law Enforcement sales for Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc a firearms
manufacturer. Most recently, Mr. Walter worked as a program manager for AV Technology International, LLC, a
supplier of armored vehicles.
“I am excited to join TASER International, Inc., as I see a great deal of similarity between TASER’s initial success
in penetrating the law enforcement market and the way that the GLOCK handgun was accepted by many of these
same agencies,” said Mr. Walter. “I am very happy to lead the sales team that has taken the ADVANCED TASER
M26 to such a strong position in just over 18 months and I believe my past experience will help TASER
International, Inc. achieve the same type of long-term success enjoyed by GLOCK Inc.,” said Mr. Walter.
“We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to add one of the premier sales and marketing executives in
the industry,” said Rick Smith, Chief Executive Officer of TASER International, Inc. “The explosive growth of
GLOCK Inc., is legendary and has been a near textbook model for penetrating the law enforcement market. We
have based our own marketing strategy on the GLOCK, Inc. model and adding one of its key architects as our senior
sales and marketing executive should greatly enhance our ability to execute going forward. Karl’s knowledge of the
law enforcement market and relationships with influential opinion-leaders is unparalleled. If anyone can take
TASER to the dramatic growth levels we seek, its Karl Walter. He’s done it before with a revolutionary product,
and we believe our proprietary technology has even greater potential for explosive growth.”
