Company
Built in Manchester.
The world’s first advanced materials platform company, with its research, its manufacturing and its headquarters on one site.
GIM works on a narrow problem with wide application: making materials perform better than the incumbent they replace, at a cost and in a form that industry can actually adopt. That platform is validated with customers and proven in production.
That means the work does not stop at a result on paper. A material that needs a new factory, a new supply chain or a new trade to install it is a research output, not a product. Everything here is engineered to drop into processes that already exist.
The company operates from Manchester, with research, development and manufacturing capability under one roof: sovereign UK capability rather than an outsourced supply chain.
How we work
What that means.
- 01
Real problems, real products
We solve problems industry already has, with materials that can be manufactured, not theoretical breakthroughs.
- 02
Sustainability as an engineering outcome
Lower impact follows from using less material and replacing it less often, not from offsetting what was always going to be spent.
- 03
Scale through partnership
Global reach through licensing, joint ventures and local manufacturing partnerships rather than owning every facility.
