About GriP Safety Coatings
GriP Safety Coatings AG develops and produces certified anti-slip coatings for barefoot and shod areas, marketed under the SWISSGriP and GriP AntiRutsch brands.

All production takes place in Switzerland. References include hotel groups, clinics, swimming pools and boat builders.
