Gizelis product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Gizelis designs, manufactures, and sells industrial sheet metal processing machinery including hydraulic, hybrid, and electro press brakes, robotic bending cells, hydraulic shearing machines, fiber laser cutting machines, punching machines, and notching machines. The company also develops the proprietary BG-soft CAD/CAM software for offline programming and 3D simulation of its press brakes, supported by a global dealer network spanning 40+ countries.
Product overview
Gizelis is a manufacturer of sheet metal processing machines founded in 1968, operating through a strategic alliance with German company Boschert GmbH (since 2004). The product portfolio is organized around six core machine categories: (1) Bending machines including hydraulic press brakes (G-TURBOBEND, G-FLEX, G-BEND plus, G-HD), hybrid press brakes (G-HYBRID), and electro press brakes (ELECTROBEND); (2) Robotic bending automation (ROBOBEND, ROBOBEND II); (3) Shearing machines (G-CUT CNC, G-ELECTROCUT); (4) Laser cutting machines (FIBERLASER) and combined punching/laser machines (COMBILASER); (5) Punching machines (ECCOLINE, MINIPRESS, COMPACT, COMPACT ROTATION, COMPACT EVO, TWIN, TRI, COMBICUT); and (6) Notching machines (LB 12, LB 13 Standard, LB 13 KE, LB 15/2000, LB 13 KE Quick, K 30/120 Mini S). The BG-soft CAD/CAM software suite provides offline programming and simulation for the press brake product line with CAD integrations for SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, and Vertex G4. The company operates three manufacturing divisions covering press brakes, shears, and plasma cutting machines.
