What GB Services does

GB Services (legal entity GB SERVICES S.R.L.) is a privately-held Italian industrial packaging materials company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Fabriano (AN), Italy, operating with a small team of 1-10 employees. The company distributes and supplies a broad portfolio of packaging products across three material categories: cardboard/paper-based (boxes, tubes, rings, corner protectors, chipboard), plastic (manual and automatic cling film, adhesive tapes, polyethylene foam, pluriball), and wood (folding boxes, pallet collars, pallets including Certified EPAL). Technical specifications span multiple variants — e.g., manual cling film in heights 12.5-100 cm and thicknesses 12-30 microns; corrugated cardboard up to 3 waves; pallets in poplar or fir with optional ISPM 15 FAO phytosanitary treatment for international compliance.

GB Services serves a dual customer base of large multinational enterprises and small-to-medium businesses. Its stated enterprise clientele includes unnamed leaders in paper, household appliances, food, and logistics sectors. The business model is direct sales-led, conducted via website contact forms and email ([email protected]), with quote-based pricing on all products and no public price list. A technical department designs and implements custom packaging solutions on request. The company supports international shipments — evidenced by ISPM 15 FAO phytosanitary treatment for wood packaging and a six-language corporate website (English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Romanian) — and positions continuous international raw-material cost monitoring as a core sourcing capability. GB Services is independently owned with no disclosed parent, investors, subsidiaries, or public listing.
