ABOUT GSG

GlobalSafeGuard Ltd (GSG) formed in the UK in 2012 as a manufacturing SME, based in England’s most northern county of Northumberland. Since then, it has developed its offer into the research and innovation activities, working with a variety of industry, research and academic partners across Europe.

GSG manages materials research, design, development and manufacture of conceptual and prototype composite, timber and metal products, working across several industry sectors including leisure, construction and humanitarian aid market places.

In 2014, GSG opened its in-house workshop facilities and commenced trading under the name of METICOMP Group UK, in-part to service its own manufacturing requirements, but also to take advantage of a growing demand for a variety of third-party material services.
