The company has adopted a new strategy to improve its logistical efficiency by investing in a local inventory of GST™ brand detection and alarm equipment, located in Extrema (MG). At this same unit, CO2, water and dry chemical extinguishers are manufactured, available in portable, wheeled and automotive versions, for classes A, B and C, in addition to special extinguishers for Class K.
