About GIFAS-ELECTRIC
GIFAS-ELECTRIC GmbH, based in Rheineck, Switzerland, is a manufacturer of solutions for power distribution and lighting systems. The product range includes distribution boards (flush-mounted and surface-mounted), construction site distribution boards, mobile distribution boards, junction boxes, cables, cable reels, plug connectors, power columns, as well as Ex products and test devices. In the field of lighting systems, the company manufactures LED guidance systems for road tunnels and the LaneLED product line, based on 20 years of know-how with LED guidance systems for road tunnels and Lighting System GFK for rail tunnels. The LaneLED light strips consist of carrier profiles in stainless steel V4A (1.4404/1.4401) or V2A (1.4310/1.4301), into which LED strips are embedded with 2K potting compounds (protection rating IP66/69K). In addition to the standard range, the company offers custom solutions in terms of dimensions, configuration, material and colours, lighting and voltage drop calculations, Relux lighting calculations, as well as manufacturing of one-off pieces and series. Production is 100 % in Rheineck; customers come from construction, roads, infrastructure, rail, industry, leisure facilities, safety & security and healthcare.
