About Us

Ground Effects

From modest beginnings in Windsor (Canada), Ground Effects (“GFX”) has grown from a family-owned aftermarket manufacturer of tubular products in 1986 to a leading producer of OEM-level automotive accessories with over 30 locations worldwide. An innovative approach to development in partnership with OEMs and reputable aftermarket organizations has led to a broad range of manufacturing capabilities that include world-class metalworking, injection molding, large-scale coating, and automated assembly techniques on a scale that bring exceptional quality to exterior automotive accessories.
 
In recent years, GFX has developed the capability to accessorize or up-fit finished vehicles at modification centers strategically located at assembly plants across North America and Asia. This includes the development of a vertically integrated solution for factory spray-on bed liners that cover the entire supply chain from raw chemicals to end-consumer aftermarket applications. GFX has established a model that is unmatched anywhere in the industry and offers OEMs an efficient solution to accessorize vehicles in a controlled environment to achieve high performance in terms of quality and productivity.
 
GFX is proud of the recognition received by customers, industry partners, and charitable organizations in the US, Canada, and Mexico. These accolades reflect the leadership and dedication of the GFX team members who have an unwavering drive to build outstanding products and contribute generously to the surrounding communities that it serves.
