A multitude of experience
Over 145 years of success
Pioneering spirit and meticulous working have a tradition at GEZE, and it spans back to the founding of the
company in Stuttgart-Feuerbach in 1863. The small construction fittings factory soon developed into a leading
developer and manufacturer of systems for door, window and safety technology.
Today GEZE door closers are some of the best known in the world. GEZE has proven its power to innovate with
numerous awards, including, for example, the “Top 100“ innovation prize in 2002 and 2009.

Made in Germany
GEZE stands for "Made in Germany" quality. Across the globe. This is why, no matter where GEZE products are
manufactured, they are produced and installed in line with German quality standards. But the seal of quality represents more than this: At GEZE this is confirmed by the innovations and by the focus on the future, both of which
are systematically promoted. This does not just apply to the technical side of things; instead it is also relevant to
intelligent functionality, sustainability and unique design.
GEZE products and system solutions are subjected to constant monitoring, both from within the company and
by external authorities, and possess numerous international approvals, test certifications and quality marks, which
have been awarded by national and international institutes. These guarantee the high GEZE quality for both
Germany and the rest of the world.
