GIFAS ELECTRIC Gesellschaft

What GIFAS ELECTRIC Gesellschaft does

GIFAS ELECTRIC Gesellschaft m.b.H. is an Austrian private limited company founded in 1966 and headquartered in Eugendorf, Austria. It manufactures industrial electrical power distribution equipment and LED lighting systems, organized into two product divisions: Stromverteilung (power distribution) and Licht-Systeme (lighting systems). The power distribution line spans solid-rubber (Vollgummi) mobile and installation distributors, underfloor distributors, energy columns, floor sockets (FONTO and MASSO), cable and hose reels, plug connections, safety and isolation transformers, and explosion-proof (EX) variants. The lighting line covers high-bay and area luminaires (DeltaLUXX), mobile and work-site lights (FlexLED, FlashLED 2, I-LED 844), battery-powered hybrid lights (HyLum 360, TorchLED), street and path lighting (StreetLED GSL, WayLED), LED handrails (LaneLED INOX), protective tube and system luminaires (StreamLED, AmbitLED, LineLED PRO 4), and modular track systems (ITL, GIFAS TEC with DALI-2 integration).

The underlying technology base combines solid-rubber housing engineering, IP44-IP65-rated industrial enclosures, LED electronics with constant light output (CLO) and selectable color temperature, multi-brand battery compatibility (Makita, Bosch, Dewalt/Milwaukee and others via HyLum 360), and patented inductive charging for the G80RI handle light. Product depth is reinforced by certifications (TÜV Austria, ANKOe) and a granted patent, with notable differentiation in explosion-proof, rail, and military variants.

GIFAS operates a B2B direct-sales model via quote-based engagement through [email protected] and dedicated phone lines for Austria and Germany. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is delivered through wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Germany, Italy, France, and Switzerland, serving four primary customer verticals — municipal and public infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing, construction, and (secondarily) emergency services — with no publicly disclosed revenue or customer concentration data.
