GuardTop is on the Move
3 April 2013We are in the process of moving GuardTop’s production facility to Atlanta to allow BEI to serve larger markets and be more efficient in doing so. The Rockmart, Georgia facility will be open no later than May 1st. We are enlisting customers and have acquired several large contractors who are currently using the product.
