    MINNETONKA, MN, December 13, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Pentair Equipment Protection introduces the Hoffman tablet enclosure and stand for iPad devices. This heavy-duty, secure tablet protection solution provides industrial-strength shielding and security for iPad 2 and 3 devices used in demanding environments, such as manufacturing plants.
