About GFSC
Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation is an independent, privately owned company that strives to exceed customer expectations, offering top quality, competitive products, and a high level of customer service.
In May of 1988, Mr. Robert C. Worthington, a professional fire protection engineer, purchased the former Globe Fire Equipment Company, bringing with him 35 years of experience in the fire sprinkler industry, having worked for three other large sprinkler manufacturers in various capacities. The combined business experience of the officers of Globe today totals more than 120 years devoted exclusively to the fire sprinkler industry.
Under Mr. Worthington's leadership, the product line has been greatly expanded and modernized, and sales have increased more than 500% since inception. Globe today is a major manufacturer of sprinklers, valves and associated devices and ships its products to all corners of the world on a continuing basis. Approximately 30 percent of Globe's net sales are to overseas customers. Globe continues to develop new products as the world market demands, and is happy to state that its relationship with the various approval authorities, such as Underwriters Laboratories Inc, FM Approvals and the Loss Prevention Certification Board (UK), is excellent. Globe has the LPCB (UK) certification for ISO 9000 series Quality Assurance, therefore exhibiting proof of the quality it continuously builds into each of its 100% factory-tested products.
