Gefran S.p.A., founded in 1969 and headquartered in Provaglio d'Iseo, Italy, is a prominent manufacturer of sensors, components, and automation systems for industrial process control. The company's product range includes position sensors, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, power controllers, and automation platforms, serving industries such as plastics, metals, mobile hydraulics, and heat treatment. Gefran emphasizes innovation and quality, with 70% of its turnover generated abroad and operations in 10 countries. The company employs approximately 650 people and is actively exploring acquisition opportunities to expand its global footprint.
Gefran – the Italian multinational group specialised in the design and production of sensors, industrial process control systems, electric drives and automation components – takes a further leap into the future of Smart Connected Factories, where HMI technologies make processes digital and enable people to make safer, more certain and faster decisions.
Gefran introduces GRP-H, the first range of single-phase solid-state relays with IO-Link digital communication protocol on the market. The GRP-H series, an evolution of the GRS-H series which belongs to the innovative GR platform dedicated to SSRs, extends the functions for the control of electrical resistance in industrial heating and integrates even more advanced diagnostics for the early detection of any partial load break.
Promoting ESG principles among the companies making up the local supply chain is one of the goals of the Group's Strategic Sustainability Plan. To this end, a workshop has been held to identify priority areas of intervention.
Isoclima – a world leader in the design and production of high-performance customised glass solutions – entrusts Gefran with the control and thermoregulation of its flat glass processing plants. A collaboration arising from the supply of components and consolidated over time thanks to Gefran Soluzioni's experience and know-how in the design and construction of automation systems, electrical panels and customised software, both for new systems and retrofits.
Gefran expands its range of controllers dedicated to the heat treatment of metals with the introduction of the Performance Carbon Controller (CC) series.
A consolidated know-how, developed from more than 50 years of activity in the plastics sector serving one of the world’s leading manufacturers of blown film production plants: this is the starting point for the collaboration between Gefran – the Italian multinational group specialised in the design and production of sensors, industrial process control systems, electric drives and automation components – and Macchi S.p.A.
Gefran enhances the range of Hyperwave contactless magnetostrictive position transducers with the launch of the WPL series equipped with IO-Link 1.1 interface.
Official debut of the GRS-H mono phase solid state relays with integrated diagnostics by Gefran – the Italian multinational group specialised in the design and production of sensors, industrial process control systems, electric drives and automation components – to control electrical resistances in industrial heating. The new solid state relays, available with current range from 15A to 120A, stand out because of their ultra-compact and very sturdy design, as well as because of their aesthetic details, aimed at making all Gefran solutions recognisable among the other electrical panels.
Gefran - the Italian multinational group specialised in the design and production of sensors, industrial process control systems, electric drives and automation components - upgraded its range of Melt transducers and pressure transmitters for high temperatures, designed to meet the highest safety standards, while fully respecting the environment.
