Italy-based WRAP distributor Defconservices, led by owner Danila Maffei, has significantly contributed to the business development and sales of products and equipment into the Italian Police and Defence sector over the past 15 years and is widely respected by Homeland Security agencies across the country.

Despite COVID-19 restrictions and hampered ability to conduct face-to-face meetings, the team at Defconservices has remained resilient and relentless in its efforts and has demonstrated the BolaWrap system to several Italian Police and Defence agencies (see video link here) that have shown interest and excitement towards adopting this safe apprehension tool for police officers.

During this time, the Defconservices team has invested the time, effort, and resources towards making this project a success in Italy. We are pleased to confirm that training and use will be supported by Paolo Grandis – the first International Master Instructor certified by WRAP Training Academy. Paolo, based in Italy, attended BolaWrap Master Instructor training in Arizona in March.

“WRAP’s support and collaboration with our international distributors continues to deliver results,” said Jags Gill, VP of International Sales of WRAP. “When selecting licensed distribution partners around the world, it is vital for WRAP to engage with industry professionals who have a deep understanding of specific operational risks, threats, and duties facing various global law enforcement and military agencies. Even with the challenges from COVID, working with our in-country distributors has allowed WRAP to continue to expand our international presence despite limited travel. We look forward to continued success with Defconservices in Italy.”
