Their athletic products, such as elbow pads, shin pads, crash shorts and protective compression shirts feature unique hinging and molding, which allow athletes the ultimate freedom and flexibility when pushing themselves to the limits. Their low-profile RPT™ pads can be easily worn over or under clothing.
by recruiting directly from Brown, RISD, and URI, G-Form has been able to keep up with their growing staffing needs while providing a great environment for recent college graduates G-Form consumer electronic products also utilize RPTTM to protect your precious consumer electronics. For electronics, the proprietary molded shapes provide maximum protection in the most convenient form factor. If you haven’t seen an iPhone hold up to an 85 MPH slap shot or an iPad dropped from 100,000 feet then you need to check out G-Forms website. G-Form has rigged a weather balloon with an iPad in their G-Form Extreme Edge, a GoPro camera, and a Garmin tracking device and launched the Extreme Edge up 100,000 feet (the edges of space). Needless to say, the iPad lived to tell the story of its fall from great heights.
G-Form’s Growth G-Form has grown in revenue, staff, office space and in its product offerings since they began in 2010. While keeping with the philosophy of innovation by and for the athlete, the product line has expanded from athletics to consumer electronics to military/tactical gear. One year ago, G-Form employed 6 full time team members which has since grown to 34. They currently occupy 5,000 sq. feet of office space in Providence and have just signed an additional lease for 15,000 sq. feet with potential of also leasing space in Davol Square. First quarter sales have exceeded totals from all of 2011 and with the upcoming release of the products to the Big Box stores (Staples, Best Buy, Sam’s Club, etc.) end of year sales are expected to grow 600% from last year. Already with over 20 patents and industry experts raving about the technology labeling it as “the best protective technology in the world hands down” G-Form has set themselves up to be another Rhode Island success story. www.risbj.com | volume one issue four
