The History of Shrink Wrapping And Interior Protection
To The Present
|
|
Every good idea brings imitators and we are gratified to see people trying to copy us. While they didn't put the sweat, tears and capital into developing the idea into a patent and a business, they are entitled to the shortcut, that's capitalism. What they don't have is the safety track record, experience and expertise.
James Talbot invented the process for shrink wrapping boats in 1978. Patent 4247509.

Global Wrap®LLC President Anthony Seraphin developed the process of shrink wrapping large objects, such as buildings and scaffolding.

Mr. Seraphin also shrink wrapped the first aircraft, and obtained the patent under Mr. Talbot's name for the process. Patent 4,763,783.

Mr. Talbot and Seraphin started the first shrink wrapping company back in 1980. They also started the first shrink wrap service company in 1986...
Since then, people have gone into business shrink wrapping anything they can, from boats, RV's, and motorcycles. Some are trying to compete with Global Wrap® in the most serious of applications involving work on tall buildings and other structures. Some have even tried to go into oil refineries with dismal results, not only in the installations, but in safety.

One Failure Can Shut A Project Down
You Can't Buy Experience From a Franchise Salesman.
You Can't Have a 0.95 EMR rating Like Global Wrap®
Global Wrap® does not franchise, we open our own regional offices in the U. S. and license overseas. Contact Anthony Seraphin for more information.
People are starting franchising companies overnight. Through a public relations person they hire to hype their wares, they are doing nothing more than alluding to the unsuspecting franchise purchaser that they can earn back the franchise fee, sometimes $75,000, quickly and go onto to get rich. Buyer beware, get the references, check out to see if this company really has the number of franchises it claims, hire a franchise lawyer to research the company and it's claims, better to spend a thousand than lose $75,000.00. Don't depend on the free PR articles in financial hype magazines, where the reporter doesn't do due diligence and research before going to print. Remember W.C. Fields, "The more a man claims his honesty, the tighter I hold onto my wallet". When a franchiser claims to have the corner on a billion dollar market because he pretends to have a material no one else has, don't buy into this claim. When a website claims they have perfected what Global Wrap invented, give it some thought and ask yourself if the circle can be improved upon. Investigate with the SEC and the FTC about their claims. Before you dive into promised success, investigate and read something like this
http://www.franchiseremedies.com/what_to_do_when_you_find_out_you_have_been_cheated.htm
Anyone can take someone else's photographs, put up a quick misleading website and claim to have "perfected" (sic) Global Wrap's process and are the innovators and experts, but ask them these questions?
1. Is this a part time business?
2. Are you just a middleman?
3. How long have you been shrink wrapping buildings, for that matter, anything?
4. Did you ever work for Global Wrap® and if so, why aren't you there now?
5. Are the images on your site projects that you have done, or are you using images of others
to misrepresent your experience?
6. Can you produce a Workers Comp Certificate and Certificate of Insurance with your company
name on it?
7. Does your company have a $5M Umbrella policy?
8. Does your company have an Experience Modification Rating (EMR) from the
National Council of Compensation Insurance, Inc. and if so, is it less than 1 ?
Global Wrap has a 0.95EMR
9. Do you have an office, warehouse, trucks and trailers?
10. Do you have in-house trained and experienced shrink wrap crews?
11. Do you have the proper state licensing?
12. Has your company ever been terminated during a job?
13. Will you produce references for jobs you claim to have completed?
14. What are the insurance companies you claim to be a preferred vendor for?
15. Can you send me a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) proving what you claim your film and
tapes are?

Global Wrap® is self financed. Ask our competitors if they are affiliated with a roofing company? All our employee are U. S. Citizens, sometimes in large jobs or disaster we do hire legal immigrants, but they will speak and understand English and be OSHA trained and lift certified. How can someone sign off on a site-specific video, or take a test, if they don't understand English? One reportable hurts everyone.

There's Shrink Wrap and Then
There's Global Wrap®
We constantly hear about shrink wrap failures at jobsites around the Nation. GW spends many hours in phone calls and visits concerning other peoples' failures. These failures are the result of hiring companies claiming to be "experts" when they are not. This is the process GW invented.
Price seems to always play a part, as well as the customer not knowing about Global Wrap. We have gone to facilities after a failure and found out that the containment was installed with inferior products and expertise. After giving our presentation, we have been assured that from now on GW would be called in for their containment needs.
Due to bad work and major failures, some industries were in the process of banning shrink wrap. After GW's presentation and education of proper installation and safety procedures, shrink wrap is not only being reconsidered, but it is going to used in applications the industries didn't realize it could be used for.
When it comes to high winds and scaffold containment, all too many companies have learned the hard way that an artificially low price is not the best choice.
The first blowout makes GW more than competitive, the second makes us inexpensive. The first safety violation gives a possible warning at best, the second causes a shut down.
GW is known for safety and that could be the difference in success or failure. Again and again, the old adage, "Apples to Apples" should prevail before awarding a shrink wrap contract. We are not intimidated by fair competition.
We resent the abuse of a system we invented, pioneered and marketed long before any other company claiming to do shrink wrap. We pride ourselves on our slogan.................................First in Safety, First in Design, First in DeliverySM
