GBI empowers electric cooperatives, including NRECA members, with cutting-edge asset identification and procurement solutions that drive real results. Backed by 18 years serving utilities across LATAM, we deliver high-durability products and proven expertise to help crews work smarter, operate safer, and reduce costs.
GBI offers practical maintenance bundles built around the way utility crews actually work in the field. Instead of sourcing products one by one, utilities can standardize proven combinations of tags, repair materials, cleaners, lubricants, and protective products for the tasks crews perform most often.
These bundles help reduce delays, simplify purchasing, improve consistency across the system, and give crews the materials they need for safer, faster work.

GBI helps utilities reduce the number of lubricants and penetrants they stock by cross-referencing OEM specs and applications, consolidating to a smaller set of high-performance products that cover more uses. This simplifies inventory, reduces confusion for crews, and supports standard, proven products across your system, with significant cost savings through volume leverage buying.
