About Greif-Technik-Schmid
Greif-Technik-Schmid GmbH (GTS Performance), based in Ulm-Wiblingen, was founded in 2008 and specializes in the design and distribution of gripper systems for the plastics processing industry. The portfolio includes gripper arms, gripper tongs, take-out spiders, robot hands, pneumatic parallel grippers (G-GP) and toggle grippers (G-GZ) as well as pneumatic internal grippers (G-GI/G-GIS) with silicone membrane in 16 sizes from 5 to 20 mm. The company also distributes modular gripper kit systems, quick-change systems, short-stroke cylinders, suction cups and conveyor belts as well as components for gripper construction. For sprue grippers for injection-molded parts, GTS offers tailor-made services from project intake through design to implementation. Since 2019 the company has been a VDWF member and acts as the GRIP branch South for the postal code areas 7, 8 and 9.
