The Historical of Gefran
Gefran has a long and rich history in industrial automation. In 1969, Gefran’s first workshop was set up in Provaglio d’Iseo (province of Brescia) to produce electric panels for machines used in manufacturing plastics. Right from the start, Gefran’s differentiating strength was its capacity to understand, interpret and produce exactly what its customers needed. This has proved to be a key differentiating and winning strategy over time.
In the 1970s, Gefran introduced itself to the Italian and international markets with the creation of the Adamello controller, later called the 1000 model, which set the benchmark for the industry.
In the 1980s, the company expanded production to include sensors, and immediately became the leading brand of choice, due to an underlying concept of designing higth level performance and quality into the sensor from the beginning. Gefran’s performance and quality is guaranteed by design, raw material selection and high tech manufacturing. In 1998, a major landmark in the company’s history, Gefran was listed on the Milan stock exchange.
With the new millennium, it strategically acquired a motion control brand to expand its own technological product offering, while preserving the prestige and Italian expertise of the acquired company. With almost half a century of passion and expertise behind it, Gefran now has 900 employees in its production facilities and 17 sales offices located around the world.
