about GIS

We have been measuring ourselves against our own standards day after day for over 60 years. It is precisely this recipe that forms the basis for our long-term success. As a Swiss manufacturer of electric chain hoists, we are committed to constant innovation in all areas. This makes us the right partner for demanding customers worldwide.

Our main task is to offer all our stakeholders what they can expect from GIS. This includes especially our end customers, subsidiaries and partners. They trust in our high-quality, long-lasting products and services. Meeting these high demands requires a first-class team. The employees in our core areas of sales, engineering, project planning, purchasing, production, assembly, service and apprentice training with joy, a healthy dose of ambition and above-average commitment on their wide-ranging tasks. In order to achieve or even exceed our ambitious goals, constant investment in simple, good processes that can be continuously be expanded is indispensable. Efficient production/assembly and a modern, environmentally friendly infrastructure are also important requirements for long-term development. Half a million chain hoists have left our production plant in the meantime, and most of the first generation are still in use worldwide. The same applies to the numerous light crane systems, crane systems and vacuum systems planned, installed and maintained by us and our partners. They have been performing reliably for decades in the most various market segments and working environments.
