After 30 years in the industry, it is with a heavy heart that we report GARC International has decided to close its doors. The iconic factory ceased production in 2020, marking the end of an era for British mailbox manufacturing.
GARC International was a name synonymous with being tough, uncompromising, and robust. Their products were built to a standard, not a price, and they became the go-to choice for architects who required high-security solutions for challenging environments.
Post Boxes UK represented GARC International for nearly 10 years, and during that time, we saw first-hand the quality and steely determination that went into every unit produced. From their 2.00mm zintec galvanised steel construction to their marine-grade 316 stainless steel finishes, they set a benchmark that few others could match.

Richard Stonebridge and the team at GARC should be incredibly proud of the legacy they have left behind. Their bespoke systems can be found in thousands of high-end and high-security developments across the United Kingdom, still standing strong decades after installation.
If you have an existing project featuring GARC mailboxes or were planning to specify them for a new development, Post Boxes UK is here to help bridge the gap. We have identified several high-security alternatives that match the 2.00mm steel thickness and robust build quality that GARC clients have come to expect.
We can also assist with replacement keys and locks for many existing GARC installations, ensuring your building's security is maintained for years to come.
We wish Richard and the whole team at the GARC factory the very best for the future. For advice on GARC alternatives or technical support for existing units, please reach out to our team via the contact page.
