Global Environmental Manufacturing (G.E.M.) Inc., the manufacturer of Euroshield® Recycled Rubber Roofing Products, was founded in 1999 by Mr. Henry Kamphuis in response to the overwhelming problem of what to do with the deluge of old tires clogging up landfills and dumpsites. Years of research has resulted in the creation of the extremely durable, and great looking environmentally friendly roofing systems.
