In the fiscal year 2000, GINO takes over the industry and train resistor manufacturing activities of Siemens AG A+D PUIB Nuremberg and with that the production and sales of all resistor products made by Siemens, namely cast iron resistors, oil-cooled starters, motor starters, neutral grounding resistors and, last but not least, resistors for transport engineering.
1999
In the course of fiscal 1999, the two plants in Bonn and Eisenach were successfully certified according to the new standard TÜV ISO 9001 and the corresponding quality management system was implemented for the complete company. Regular follow-up audits pursuant to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 by the pertinent certification authority TÜV Hesse confirm the functionality and efficiency of quality management at GINO.
