Leadership & History
G.B.R.F. was incorporated in 2001 and initially started as a weaver of fiberglass tapes of 6 and 9 oz (200 and 300 g/m²). This was followed in 2003 with the introduction of woven rovings of 15, 18, 24 oz or 450, 600, 750 g/m². In 2004 we introduced Kevlar® and carbon to our product line. The company grew quickly, and in 2008 we outgrew our modest facility and moved to a modern 20,000 sq. ft building in Midland, Ontario. From being a local supplier we grew into a truly North American supplier. G.B.R.F.’s leadership has solid roots in the composites industry. All our senior staff has 25 plus years in the industry, in Research & Development, Management, Accounting and Manufacturing. We are proud of what we have achieved in a relative short time, of weathering a major recession successfully and of developing a strong relationship with customers all over North America.
