Happy Holidays / by Shaun Evans

2021 has been a record year for BRACELOK.com despite the global pandemic and as the year draws to a close we wish everyone happy holidays. We appreciate the confidence so many organizations have shown us and we look forward to an even better year in 2022!

We delivered for three Kaiser Permanente projects in California and other healthcare sites we can disclose include Los Angeles Children’s Hospital, Clinica Sierra Vista in Bakersfield and Providence.

In education, we began our first installations in the Santa Monica-Malibu and El Centro High School Districts and soon will have our first install in the San Diego USD and in several Community Colleges.

In 2021 we gained new customers in Virginia, Maine, Washington, and throughout California. Architects are key to us being specified for new projects and we are delighted to announce some projects slated for 2022 and beyond...
