What Innovo Security Works does

Innovo Security Works LLC is a Tennessee-based manufacturer of crash-rated physical perimeter security products, including drop arm gates, swing arm gates, sliding gates, bollards, fences, and SecurGate retrofit barriers. The company was founded in 1984 as Crisp Barriers (originally Barrier Concepts) and currently operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Global GRAB Technologies following a September 2022 acquisition, with products manufactured at Global GRAB's Franklin, Tennessee headquarters. Products are engineered to crash ratings up to M50 and 20,000 lbs at 50 mph, with notable technical features including a Concrete Barrier Mount system using Kontek MBB/VKM blocks that eliminates excavation, a Protected Side Open gate configuration for sites with limited setback distance, and SecurGate retrofit options that add crash-rated protection to existing gates.

The company sells engineered-to-order physical security products to enterprise and government buyers across defense, military, government facilities, airports, port authorities, data centers, petrochemical facilities, financial institutions, and entertainment venues. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales requiring a 50% deposit on orders exceeding $5,000, with optional maintenance and professional services support. Sales are conducted via direct phone and email ([email protected]), and products are distributed globally through Global GRAB Technologies' grabglobal.com platform and supported domestically by Global GRAB's Professional Services Team. The company has a small employee base (11-50), holds no disclosed patents, and has been recognized by The Silicon Review and Enterprise Security Magazine as a notable security provider in 2019.
