The Company’s revolutionary SmartFlex™ technology continues to advance to better protect U.S. warfighters

PROVIDENCE, RI, August 23, 2021 – G-Form®, a technology-driven protective solutions provider and leading manufacturer of high-performance wearable gear, last week received a special visit from Congressman Jim Langevin, representing Rhode Island’s 2nd Congressional District. Congressman Langevin is the Chair of the HASC cyber, innovative technologies, and information systems subcommittee.

G-Form, a member of the Warrior Protection and Readiness Coalition (WPRC), creates innovative products that provide dynamic protection to enhance athlete performance, and are tailored for a variety of team sports, such as baseball, soccer, hockey, and basketball, as well as action sports, such as mountain biking and snowboarding. Congressman Langevin’s visit followed a meeting between U.S. Senator Jack Reed and G-Form executives in March, which assisted G-Form in continued development efforts to serve warfighters with greatly improved, innovative protective gear. Senator Reed is the Chair of the Senate Armed Service Committee (SASC), which oversees the U.S. Department of Defense.

“It was our pleasure to host Congressman Langevin at our global headquarters,” said Glen Giovanucci, CEO of G-Form. “Without question, our unique ability to serve as a leading technology-driven solutions provider on the athletic field can translate
to the battlefield. We view warfighters as tactical athletes, and are committed to developing better, unique innovations to enhance their performance. Following Senator Reed’s visit to our manufacturing plant in March, our team has worked tirelessly to carefully listen to the needs of warfighters and have been developing a range of solutions that can better prepare our warfighters for success. As a proud Rhode Island-based manufacturer utilizing U.S.-based raw materials, we look forward to working closely with Congressman Langevin and his team to appropriately field these innovative products to protect those who protect our country.”

G-Form’s patented protective gear technology, called SmartFlex™, is created using advanced polymer formulas. All products are designed to allow freedom of movement while minimizing risk of injury by hardening on impact, allowing users to push their physical limits without sacrificing performance, comfort, or style. SmartFlex is 100% waterproof and machine washable.

Utilized by a wide range of sports and outdoor activities, G-Form products are trusted by hundreds of professional athletes around the world, including players throughout professional baseball, such as another four-time All-Star, Manny Machado; world class mountain bike riders, like FMB World Tour and Crankworx Champion, Emil Johansson; and professional soccer players spanning the most elite levels of play globally. In addition, G-Form is the official protective partner of Perfect Game, the recognized pathway to Division 1 college and professional baseball opportunities worldwide.
