About Gels GmbH
Gels GmbH is a company from the northern Emsland region, based in Niederlangen, which specialises in the conception, development and manufacture of control and switchgear systems. The automation of production processes is one of its core competencies. Its range of services includes control and switchgear construction including control cabinet wiring, the series production of control cabinets from prototype to series production, and control cabinets in accordance with UL 508A with certified acceptance including the UL mark. The company also offers special machine construction and robotics based on KUKA robot technology, including reprogramming and retooling of KUKA robot controllers as well as 3D simulation, planning and optimisation of robot cells. In the field of automation technology, Siemens PLC controls are programmed, existing controls are migrated to Siemens S7, and connections to higher-level control systems or SAP are implemented. In addition, Gels GmbH manufactures functionally complete assemblies and machines including the design of pneumatics, hydraulics and electronics, configures cables and energy chains, and is active in the field of electromobility with charging stations as well as in electrical installation and building technology. The value chain ranges from consulting and project engineering at CAD workstations through manufacturing to on-site installation and customer service for industry and trade.
