This lead to an immediate recognition of the Perla Group brand and lead to the rapid growth and development of our various operating companies."Through its four, wholly owned subsidiaries, Perla Group International offers leading edge products and services in aviation, telecom, armored vehicles and K-9 services in the burgeoning military, police and security sectors.
Perla Telecoms Group has positioned itself as a total 'turnkey' solutions developer and provider. It will remain independent as to have the ability to work with the many leading services providers in the industry. From large Telco's to small SME's, network integrators, military customers, and any company wanting a specialist solution or product.

"We believe this merger establishing Perla Group as a public entity will provide the Company enhanced access to capital markets and create greater value not only for our current shareholders but those of Elm Technologies," said D'Alberto, "While the scope of our business is worldwide, our growth plans call for aggressive efforts in North America in particular for the industry leading AK1-3 helicopters. Moreover, we will be well positioned to take advantage of the current unprecedented military contracts that are being procured by the US and Middle Eastern countries.
D'Alberto said that although the Company's divisions operate independently they work together quite often and cross pollinate as customers of one division are quick to take advantage of products and services of another.
"We are very excited about the Elm merger with Perla Group International," said Jennifer Martin, a spokesperson for Elm Technologies Group, Inc. "For the past several months we had been considering several candidates for a reverse merger or acquisition that would benefit from our broad base of shareholders and presence in the US public capital markets. Perla Group's dynamic group of companies will provide a powerful, diversified international base of businesses. We look forward to assist Mr. D'Alberto, the new CEO and his team in growing the combined company. "
