FSG 80 includes paints, preservation and sealing compounds, and adhesives, many of which have short shelf lives and require temperature-controlled storage.

“We’re looking forward to bringing our expertise and technical solutions, such as our Integrated Logistics Toolkit and hazardous materials management, to bear to help improve service delivery to the department of defence.”
