The Group has a presence throughout Europe with its headquarters in Rome, General Management located in Udine, and additional offices in Bari, Naples,

The Group is recognized as a European leader in the fields of security, workplace health, and fire safety. It specializes in all aspects of the safety chain for the protection of critical infrastructures, public buildings, and industrial facilities. With over 5,000 employees and an extensive geographical presence, GSA has attained the zenith of the European market thanks to its engineered services, technological innovations, patents, and a global approach. Its extensive range of services includes engineering design, systems, equipment, specialized vehicles, and fire teams. The company operates in complex projects in Italy, France, and Switzerland, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated approach to security. As a multiservice company, it is active in facility management and collaborates as a partner in the management of buildings, installations, and services, serving both public entities and private organizations. The solidity of its production model is also evidenced by the Borsa Italiana’s Elite Certificate, which GSA obtained in 2016, and the entry of Armònia SGR into the company’s capital in 2018. In 2021, ITEЯ Capital Partners acquired 67.5% of GSA for an Enterprise Value of Euro 250 million. ITEЯ Capital Partners facilitated and managed the entry of the Eurizon ITER funds, which are under Eurizon Capital SGR – the asset management company of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group. With 25 years of history, 14 active patents, over 5,000 employees, and a turnover of 173 million euros, the company has strategic contracts at the European level in the road infrastructure sector and in the field of healthcare fire safety. Over the years, the Group’s growth has been facilitated by significant acquisitions. In March 2019, it acquired the majority stake in the French company S.R.M.B. - Secours Routiers du Mont-Blanc SAS, a leading company in heavy vehicle intervention and rescue in extreme mountain climatic and road conditions. In July of the same year, it acquired a historic Friulian company, a move that led to the establishment of GSA Firesafe, which specializes in the installation and maintenance of fire safety systems, safety services, and products. In 2023, the Group further expanded its expertise and specialization areas through the acquisition of 75% of Previnsa Servicios Integrales, a prominent Spanish operator with two decades of experience in the field of fire services and systems, highly specialized technical training, and safety signage. The acquisition of Previnsa makes it possible for GSA to expand its business lines thanks to the 3 sectors in which the former is specialised: fire monitoring and prevention in nuclear power plants; staff training and safety at work, even in complex situations: working at height, chemical emergencies, maritime safety, wind farms, thermonuclear power plants; production and marketing of work safety signs and accessories. Supported by its three divisions – Safety, Academy, and Facility – GSA’s success is a result of its strong ability to operate with a holistic approach to safety, ensuring high-quality standards. The company places customers at the center, committing to provide effective, quick, and continuous responses to both external and internal clients. The Group tailors its services to the specific needs of each client by applying rigorous procedures for program analysis and design.
