A native Spanish speaker, Elsa has been a valued sidekick to Sammy Almaguer, our U.S. and International Account Executive. Together, Sammy and Elsa have served Safety Vision long and well as we’ve broadened our international footprint and brought lifesaving mobile surveillance solutions to foreign shores.

In the accompanying photo, Elsa poses with the governor of Veracruz at the XXVII Convencion Internacional de Mineria (International Mining Convention) in Mexico, October 2009. The governor stopped by our booth at the show and is shown wielding our SV-1500–a personal mobile DVR, still camera, and flashlight in one. At the show, Elsa and Sammy also demo’d our full suite of collision avoidance and onboard surveillance recording solutions. Our heavy duty camera, monitor, and mobile DVR systems are equipped to handle the environmental and operating rigors of mining and other heavy equipment industries, around the world.

Visit our Flickr photostream to see Elsa’s farewell “happy hour” at Houston HQ. We’ll miss that smiling face, but she’s only a phone call away! Elsa’s customers can still reach her through Safety Vision’s main line (713.896.6600) or toll-free number (800.880.8855). Meanwhile, we wish Elsa and our extended Safety Vision family & friends salud, suerte y fortuna.

So, it’s no surprise that they turned to Safety Vision when equipping their own fleet to enhance driver safety. Proforma is using our rear- and side-view camera systems as well as our thermal imaging technology. We snapped a few photos of their road-ready HUMMER on a recent visit to Safety Vision HQ in Houston: Take a look at the slideshow! You also may view these photos as a gallery of still shots on Flickr, where you can click on each individual image for specifics on the Safety Vision collision avoidance equipment featured in that photo.

(And the S.W.A.T. you see emblazoned on the HUMMER? While this vehicle equipped with visibility-enhancing safety equipment is indeed a  “Special Weapon And Tactic,” here it stands for the Proforma-coined “Safe Work Awareness Team”!)
