Management
Safety.
Our promise since 1968.
Maximum safety for products used in LPG and
fuel oil systems. This was the vision that led to
GOK being established in 1968 in Ochsenfurt,
Germany. And we have been pursuing this goal
consistently ever since then. GOK has become
a pioneer in its industry with trailblazing
innovations and quality without compromise
and is now Germany's leading provider of
components, solutions and systems.
Company Profile GOK Regler- und Armaturen-Gesellschaft mbH & Co. KG
We offer a complete range of products for household, commercial, industrial or leisure LPG systems,
for oil firing installations and modern tank management. Our family-owned company, now managed by
the second generation, develops and, to a large extent, also manufactures products at our headquarters
in Marktbreit, Germany. We see ourselves as a partner of our customers, support them and, where
possible, fulfil individual wishes with tailored solutions.
People all over the world have confidence in the durability, reliability and safety of GOK products. Why is
that? Perhaps because we have played a major role in determining technical progress in the LPG industry.
Or because we make no compromises when it comes to quality and safety. Possibly also because we
ensure safety through training and service. Or because we consistently act responsibly. Probably, it's a bit
of all of these reasons. Please take the time and explore the following pages to see for yourself what our
company is all about.
Innovation.
The basis for technical progress
We are not exaggerating when we say that many technical
advances were initiated by GOK. The impetus for this came
from the company founders, who also gave it its name:
Josef Gottfried and Karl-Heinz Kleine. Their idea was to find
innovative solutions so that they could put durable, reliable,
safe – but still affordable – products on to the market.
Today, Dieter Kleine, son of the company founder, and
his managing director Gerald Unger manage the business
with the same goals and the same passion for innovation.
The results are pioneering developments, some of which are patented.
For example, our low pressure regulator with overpressure safety device.
It protects the connected device reliably against too high pressure, monitors
the functions of the pressure regulator and indicates that it is ready for
operation. Or our combined fuel oil filter and deaerator type GS Pro-Fi® 3,
which ventilates without odour, filters and also has safety facilities that help
protect the environment.
Finding new solutions and turning them into marketable products is a
trademark of GOK. As a result, we have become a driving force for the entire
industry. And because the safety of people and protection of the environment
is important when LPG and fuel oil are handled, we are not only concerned
about the quality of our products. We are actively involved in drafting and
updating ISO, EN and DIN standards.
As much as we are pleased with what we have achieved so far, we prefer to
look to the future. We have a multitude of ideas and are highly motivated so
that we are expanding and consistently investing in new products, plants and
processes.
Quality.
The result of consistent optimisation.
Quality is not an end in itself – and doesn't happen by chance. High quality is
the requirement for durable products that work reliably, that are safe – like the
components, solutions and systems from GOK. But how do we achieve this?
How do we ensure that customers and users can always rely on us?
Made in Germany
The claim "Made in Germany" is important to us.
Almost all GOK products are produced in-house. We have
an outstanding quality management system, which is, of
course, DIN EN ISO 9001 certified. But we have something
even more important: employees who are truly enthusiastic
about producing increasingly better products.
All at the one location
At our site in Marktbreit, research, development and
production is all under the one umbrella. This allows us to
control all our workflows consistently at all times: from new
designs, through laboratory tests to production of the semifinished products and final assembly.
High vertical range of manufacture
While many other industrial companies are happy to buy
in components, we prefer to produce them ourselves.
Consequently, many cast parts in our pressure regulators
come from our own zinc foundry. This means that in addition
to material purity, we can also guarantee maximum precision.
Manual work and automation
We believe in fully automatic production as well as
purely manual work and semi-automatic production steps.
The most important thing is knowing what the best solution
is for the different requirements in the production process.
Multi-level quality controls
Before any product leaves our plant, its quality is
continuously and precisely monitored: from material delivery,
through production to shipping the finished products. Our
strict testing standards take account of our very high quality
requirements: in many cases, they are much higher than the
specifications.
Guaranteed quality
Many GOK products are approved and certified throughout the EU.
Below are some of the most important conformity certificates:
• EC type test acc. to the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC
• EC type test acc. to the Gas Appliances Directive 2009/142/EC
• EC type test acc. to the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC
• DVGW and DIN-DVGW approvals for LPG installations
• CE labelling acc. to the Construction Products Regulation (EU)
305/2011
• Usability certificates issued by a building inspectorate,
e.g. general building-authority approval for oil firing installations
and tank management
