Through Embrace, Guardian has been able to:
Hire a larger team of developers

Add customer service personnel

These resources have already had a positive impact on Guardian’s customer service and product development teams.

Guardian will continue to work closely with ICI, AFS and NFFS to remain at the cutting-edge of the technology for the metalcasting world to meet the demands of the metalcasting industry.
