History

GST was founded in Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, in 1993. In the same year, the company launched its first bus-based fire alarm product in the Chinese market, an important step for the development of domestic fire alarm technology. In 2000, GST established offices in multiple Chinese cities and began nationwide direct sales, while also registering a company in Dubai to start its international business. In 2002, it obtained LPCB ISO9001 certification and released its first European-standard detector.

In 2005, GST successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in June, and United Technologies Corporation (UTC) injected capital to become its second-largest shareholder; the company also released its first European-standard alarm control panel, securing an important position in Asia's fire alarm industry. In 2006, the Shenyang Fire Research Institute Qinhuangdao Laboratory was established at GST, deepening industry-academia-research integration.

In 2009, GST formally joined United Technologies Corporation (UTC), and its annual detector production exceeded 10 million units. In 2014, annual detector production surpassed 20 million units, keeping its production capacity among the top in Asia.
