With offices across the world in Chicago, Detroit, Houston, London, Nashville, New York, and Perth, the Company provides on-demand incident management and emergency response services worldwide.

Orbis Travel Safety Limited, the company behind International LifeLine™ employs advanced technology, innovative solutions, and years of experience to provide efficient and reliable emergency response services to customers worldwide. The Company’s 24/7 Lifeline Response Center, situated just north of Houston, Texas, is wholly owned and fully equipped to handle any emergency.

International LifeLine™ is the result of the fusion of two leading global security companies: The Guidry Group and Orbis Travel Safety. Both entities established themselves as players in the global security, kidnap and ransom, and medical evacuation domains.

The Guidry Group, founded by Michael Guidry in 1985, has over three decades of experience providing peace of mind to families, corporations, and government groups. Throughout his career, Mr. Guidry and The Guidry Group have personally handled 71 kidnappings and 52 extortions in over 100 countries worldwide. In every instance, with the aid of specialized teams, The Guidry Group has achieved a remarkable success rate in safely returning every single victim home.

Orbis Travel Safety Limited, formerly GEOS Travel Safety Limited, was founded by Peter Chlubek in 2005. Since then, it has protected its members’ lives and coordinated responses to over 83,000 incidents across 198 countries.

Now offering their security, technology, and expertise in one unified company, International LifeLine™ is prepared to continue its legacy of providing exceptional security services and assistance to global travelers, businesses, and governments as a single entity. Proven to be effective and dependable, you can trust us in a crisis.
