SULLIVAN, Mo. – Amidst all of the recent mass shootings, Executive Wood Products, a maker of bullet-resistant lecterns and podiums, says it will begin making ballistic church and courthouse pews, furnishings, and desk inserts. 

 

“What we provide, for the pubic and for the government, is truly a bitter sweet product. However, we feel so proud of what we do and so proud that we can help and serve people,” the company's marketing director Tina Siebenman told KMOX St. Louis local news.

 

Siebenman also told KMOX that business is booming. The company is planning to expand from 20 to 30 employees within a year.

The company applies a high volume low pressure (HVLP) finish to its products and hand sands between coats.
