History

Seris au fil des années.

Now	Seris is closer to its customers than ever before. Clearly defined and autonomously operating business entities contribute to our overall range of services. Our baseline is no coincidence: we are ‘Your Total Security Concept Provider’.
2014	ESC becomes Seris Monitoring. The Seris Group shows that "Corporate Social Responsibility" is no hollow phrase for it. Every member of the Seris Group acquires the IQNet SR10 certification, as the first company of its kind in Belgium.
2013	Seris starts activities in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
2012	BSC becomes Seris Technology. Seris is now also active in the Netherlands; the result of a merger between three Rotterdam security companies.
2011	Seris acquires the training centre ‘Cosman Training’, which was incorporated in 1995. Within the Seris Group, the training centre becomes part of Seris Academy.
2007	Seris celebrates its 100^th anniversary in Belgium.
2006	The group welcomes the new French shareholder Separgefi, which gives the company the name ‘Seris’. In France, Seris, known there as Sécurifrance, is now the biggest independent security group with over 50 years of experience.

1988	Incorporation of GMIC Express, today’s Seris Logistics.

1945	Across the country, new branch offices are opened and business units are set up in the main industrial estates. The ‘security’ concept is becoming increasingly successful.
1940	Antwerp, Gent and Brussels are severely affected by 'flying bombs'. GMIC is given the heavy responsibility to guard public buildings and private dwellings.
1907	Incorporation of the ‘Garde Maritime Commerciale’ in the port of Antwerp. The growth of port activities makes it harder for shipping companies to guard ships and goods. A few years later, at the height of the industrial revolution, the company is re-named ‘Garde Maritime Industrielle et Commerciale’.
