GTS Group

Based in the Republic of Georgia, the GTS Group operates as a specialized industrial services provider focused on surface protection, corrosion control, and technical maintenance for the maritime, oil and gas, and construction sectors. Established in 2008, the company has developed a distinct operational footprint across the Transcaucasia region, serving markets in Georgia, Ukraine, and the wider Caucasus area. Its primary mandate involves the preservation of critical infrastructure and assets exposed to harsh environmental conditions, particularly the corrosive saltwater atmosphere characteristic of the Black Sea coast. The company serves as a technical bridge between global coating manufacturers and local maritime operators. Rather than functioning solely as a distributor, the GTS Group executes comprehensive surface treatment projects. Its core competency lies in the application of specialized marine and protective coatings designed to extend the lifecycle of vessels, port facilities, and offshore equipment. To ensure adherence to international maritime standards, the company employs rigorous surface preparation techniques, including high-precision sandblasting and hydro-blasting, which are essential prerequisites for effective coating adhesion on steel structures. In the maritime domain, the GTS Group’s operations encompass the treatment of diverse assets ranging from shipping containers and vessel hulls to static port infrastructure. The organization has executed significant maintenance works at major regional hubs, such as the Poti Sea Port, where it has managed the protection of pipelines, harbor installations, and storage tanks. These projects often involve complex logistical coordination to treat metal constructions used in terminals and transfer facilities. Beyond standard painting, the company provides fireproof coating systems and anti-corrosive solutions tailored to high-humidity marine environments. The group also supports the region’s energy transit sector, providing protective services for oil terminals and gas pipelines that terminate at or transit through Georgian ports. By integrating inspection services - such as adhesion testing and micron measurements - into its workflow, the GTS Group verifies that applied systems meet the technical specifications required by marine insurers and classification societies. Through these technical services, the company plays a supportive but vital role in maintaining the structural integrity of the region's maritime and industrial logistics chain.
