G4S Technology is the new name for the security technology arm of G4S
G4S Technology is the new name for the security technology arm of G4S, the world's leading international security solutions group.

Previously known as G4Tec, the new name reinforces the ongoing strategy to be a world leader in the creation and deployment of building security systems for critical and secure environments.

The first visible change as a result of the rebranding initiative is celebrated by the launch of the Technology Innovation Centre. This new state-of-the-art facility showcases the complete family of G4S Technology products and demonstrates the very latest solutions for businesses across the Commercial and Government sectors.

G4S Technology installs a wide range of security systems including Symmetry, an integrated Access Control, CCTV and Alarm Management system used in 70 Countries on 30,000 customer sites ranging from small schools through to The Pentagon Building in Washington DC.

G4S Technology customers also have the option of extending the use of their staff identity card to include GiroVend which is the market leading Cashless Payment system for security, identification and on-site purchases.

Keith Whitelock, Group Managing Director explained "For most of our loyal customers, the change of name will mean business as usual: our commitment to customer support will continue to remain our priority."

Headquartered in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, G4S Technology has regional offices in Glasgow, Maidenhead and Newcastle providing support to over 3,000 customers, primarily within the education, health, local and national government, communications, finance and utility sectors.
