Global Group (Global) was founded in 1987 by Richard Hinds, an experienced International Automotive Industry Executive with manufacturing and marketing expertise in the UK, East & Central Europe, Portugal, USA, South Africa, India, Australasia and the Orient.

 

ABOUT GLOBAL GROUP

At this time Tier 1 and Tier 2 component vendors identified the need for more competitive procurement.  This new business opportunity capitalised on major tooling and component cost reduction from off shore sourced materials, labour and overheads.

An experienced team has been assembled to operate the business.  Design, manufacturing, assembly, Q.C., logistics and commercial issues are subcontracted to specialists.

Overtime, Global has diversified into manufacturing and distribution of automotive electrical components and asemblies, plastics moulding, rubber sealing products, aluminium and stainless steel diecastings.
