Globaljig
Globaljig’s universal jig system was created to satisfy the needs of the bodyshop industry which until then only knew dedicated jig systems. Before the universal jig was created, the only alternative to the dedicated jig was the measuring system. Globaljig combined the advantages of both systems, simplifying considerably the task of the bodyshop because it enables the repair of any car, past or future, by anchoring and measuring it at the same time with one brilliant system. The monocube is the result of constant development of Globaljig products.
