System partner with over 70 years of experience

Gebrüder Frei GmbH & Co. KG is an independent system provider with over 70 years of company experience and three core areas: control elements for mobile machinery, power supplies and components for textile machinery. The portfolio ranges from joysticks, drive controllers, pedals, control grips and control units to switch-mode power supplies, sensors, actuators and thread brakes for textile machinery. The hallmark of every Frei solution is customer-specific design: products are individually adapted to customer requirements, including mechanics, hardware and software from a single source. By bundling relevant trades under one roof, including in-house toolmaking, a short-distance production with high flexibility and rapid response to special requests is created. Manufacturing takes place entirely at the Germany site; through distribution partners in 14 countries the company is present worldwide, including in the off-highway and automation industries.
