Since 1980, G-Block products have been the benchmark for many armoured metal door manufacturers and installers.<\/p>\n

These manufacturers and installers cover a wide range of professions: manufacturers of passive security equipment, locks, cylinders, locksmiths, glaziers, joiners, window frame installers, alarm installers, fire-stop installers, and so on.<\/p>\n

The expansion of G-Block's activities and the ongoing use of new technologies led it to move to the Ghislenghien industrial estate in 1994. This location has enabled it to maintain its quality while complying with standards and approvals in the fields of fire, burglar-proofing, bullet resistance and intensive use, etc., but above all to be able to meet the requirements of its customers, who are always looking for made-to-measure products.<\/p>\n

Since then, the product range has grown steadily, in parallel with the modernisation of the production facilities.<\/p>\n

The products are tested in recognised, independent professional centres under conditions that are more extreme than those likely to be encountered.<\/p>\n

To date, G-Block has specialised mainly in the manufacture of all types of made-to-measure metal door. Metal swing armoured doors account for the bulk of its turnover. G-Block is constantly striving to improve its working procedures and to listen to its employees.<\/p>\n

What G-Block expects from its employees can be summed up in a few words:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • efficiency,<\/li>\n
  • after-sales service follow-up<\/li>\n
  • and perfect collaboration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thanks to all this, G-Block provides you with quality products that are both innovative and competitive.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
