GUARDIAN preserves and protects the assets of our clients. Our services include storage, packing and crating, transportation, framing, conservation, installation, collection management, appraisals, and more. Our new facility in the Chicago-Milwaukee metropolitan region uses state-of-the-art technologies including a high level UL certified security system, a dry-pipe fire suppression system, 100% LED lighting, standby battery, and emergency electrical generation. The three essential features of GUARDIAN are:
 

• Environmental-controlled temperature, humidity, and atmospheric particulates, at museum standards
• UL certified security system that is monitored 24x7
• Trained, experienced staff following “best practices” of art handling and collection management

All of this makes GUARDIAN one of the most highly effective art storage facilities in North America, as well as one of the most economic.  

Mission
Our mission is to protect and preserve the assets of our institutional, corporate, and private clients. Our services include transportation, storage, installation, and management, where each can be stand alone or integrated depending on the needs of the client. Above all, we respect the confidence and privacy of our clients.

Vision
In collaboration with others, we will be known as an institution that continually improves preservation practices, based on efficacy and efficiency.  We will do this for our clients and our community.
