5 MISSION GSI s mission is to exceed customer expectations delivering top quality products and services, on time and on budget by bringing together advanced technologies (SMC, GMT, D-LFT, LWRT), devoted people and excellence in everything we do. In compliance with ISO 900 and ISO TS 6949 quality standards, GSI produces, markets and supports the industrialization of assembled plastic products in the agricultural, earth-moving, automotive, commercial vehicles, design and electric industry. Our R&D and Project Management office develops cutting-edge and tailor-made technologies (such as SMC with aluminum, GMTex composites or LWRT soundproof panels to name a few) to satisfy the most compelling customer s needs. The production system goes from moulding to assembling, from painting to delivery to the final customers. To be present with production plants right on the markets of our customers: this is our company vision, based on the key concept think global, be local. 5

6 CORPORATE BUSINESS STRATEGY The Group strategy follows those guidelines: the logistic displacement of production units, mainly for finishing production lines, close to the final customer allows to grant the client itself a top quality service, logistically efficient and low-cost; to be a global supplier on the market in the production of oversize components made of composite materials 6

7 GLOBAL FOOTPRINT Italy is our homeland, but we keep the world on the horizon. We are young, and development is a strong need for us. We aim to have in each Country a specific production plan working in synergy with our plants worldwide. To diversify and coordinate, to value peculiarity and increase interaction, this is written in our DNA. In other words: think global, be local.

Our R&D, Project Management and Technical Team like to talk about new technologies only when we are 00% sure of their qualities and benefits in terms of production and business opportunities. ELISA time to market is just right now. The concept develops into the over-moulding of soundproof panels for automotive under body shields made in LWRT (Light Weight Reinforced Thermoplastics). ELISA is the choice of the new automotive generation. Meet ELISA in GSI

31 PATENT & INNOVATION db Electromagnetic Shielding for electric car battery box - complex cases Battery boxes need electromagnetic shielding in order to avoid obnoxious interferences with electronic devices such as radio, cell phones, etc. Nowadays shielding is achieved by co-molding aluminum frames with plastic, but due to the geometric complexity of the battery box lid shape, this technique is not very effective (results can be affected by the cracks that may take place on edges, e.g.), and competitors apply further layers of paint in order to cover such cracks and restore the complete shielding. Our own solution features several layers of thin aluminum foil, its shape ensuring the full coverage of the area to be shielded when assembled to the lid.
