EVP - Chief Marketing Officer at Hard 2 Top Products, Inc. - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States
First incorporated in 1998, Hard 2 Top Products, Inc. developed and refined a security product for multiple uses. The secure convertible top protecting both driver and contents of a vehicle was first in development. Working from the patent attained by owner Roy Ramirez, Hard 2 Top Products was able to create a full-size prototype for demonstration and marketing of the product. Mr. Ramirez holds the exclusive patent for the "soft-sided security system" manufactured to resist any "forced-entry" into a convertible, soft-sided or otherwise "open" vehicle.The technology creates a secure barrier, protecting occupants and the contents of such vehicles and allows for the barrier to be linked with a security system. It is the only product currently on the market that integrates with a vehicle security system and offers the flexibility of soft-sides.This entry by the initial product into the niche convertible market has resulted in the introduction that will take the patented technology further, developing new products and expanding the uses for the core materials. Expansions of target market will include pickup truck owners offering access to a large pool of potential manufacturing and aftermarket customers needing a secure bed cover (also known as a Tonneau cover).The Company's products offer the convenience of easy stowing and access, in addition to the security component essential to many consumers. The patented technology uses a material that is tear resistant and combines it with the latest in forced entry prevention electronics. The result is a system so sensitive that penetration by an object like a sewing needle activates and sounds the alarm; but not so over-sensitive that it reacts to common occurrences such as wind or inclement weather.
