Gizelis S.A. was founded from Stamatis Gizelis in 1968, specializing in the manufacturing of machines for the sheet metal industry. Today is one of the oldest companies in its field, with activities that start from machine design and development, and continue with complete ‘in house' manufacturing of sheet metal processing machines. Gizelis S.A. is a well established manufacturing company, with significant presence in the Global market. Now with a large network of Global associates, the company is able to provide complete solutions regarding the production chain associated with sheet metal processing machines. Today, the company's industrial plant includes 3 distinct manufacturing divisions regarding press brakes, shearing, and plasma cutting machines. In the near future it is planning to expand business deeper in the field of sheet metal bending and cutting. In 2004 Gizelis S.A. formed a strategic alliance with German company Boschert GmbH. With this alliance a new series of machines has emerged, aiming to provide the customer with a full range of high quality sheet metal processing machines. All manufacturing procedures for both companies take place in two privately owned factories situated within the European Union.
