When Gustav Friedrich Gerdts founded his enterprise on the 29th October 1902, the industrial age had only just begun. While he was young and unknown with few financial resources, he had many new ideas that would influence countless industrial applications. His aim for this new company was to optimize steam and energy usage in factories, which would increase operational reliability and process efficiency.
Delivering the results you need is our top priority. That's how we've become the first choice for industries where reliable, efficient, and safe steam systems are critical to success, from chemical production and power generation to boiler manufacture.
At GESTRA, the desire to optimize and innovate is in our DNA. Our global team of steam system experts is ready to support you with precision design and advanced engineering solutions, whether you have a challenge today, or want to build towards a more sustainable future.
