GfG - smart GasDetection Technologies

Who we are

For more than 60 years we have been developing and manufacturing “smart GasDetection Technologies”. We’ve not always called them that, but the motivation that drives the creation of our products has never changed: protecting people, facilities and the environment from gas hazards.

The fact that we’ve focused on our one core competence from the very beginning has certainly paid off. GfG is now one of the leading, owner-managed companies for fixed and portable gas detection systems in the world. With four production sites and ten sales branches around the world, we’ve established an international presence and can cooperate closely with our distribution partners and customers.

The information we gather this way is then channeled into developing new products and improving old ones. Approximately 13 % of our annual turnover is invested into research and development of new gas detectors and sensors.

But our goal is not just building the best gas detection systems. We also want our devices to be sustainable and economical. This is why we avoid designing single-use solutions and research concepts which will make high-quality gas detectors available to every business.

What we do...

Safety is our goal. Modern, high-quality gas detectors allow us to reach it.

We don’t just offer our customers suitable portable and fixed instruments for monitoring gases, but instead also provide consultations on designing and expanding safety systems, technologies for creating gas detection networks and professional field service, including individual maintenance contracts.

...and why we do it

Gases are essential in many industrial processes and new areas of applications, some of them using rare gases, are emerging frequently. At the same time, we are learning more and more about the risks gases can pose, which is reflected in increased regulations and lowered limit values. Modern gas detection systems ensure that these limits can be met and thus play a significant role in minimizing both environmental damages and health risks.

Reliably and economically detecting gases in increasingly lower concentrations is a never-ending challenge, which GfG is is taking on with passion and competence.
