Gira intelligent building technology

Gira is a market-leading German manufacturer specializing in high-quality electrical installation technology and intelligent building systems. Established in 1905 by Gustav and Richard Giersiepen, the company initially focused on light switches and electrical safety components. Over the decades, it has evolved into a global pioneer for smart home automation, offering a vast array of products ranging from traditional switch programs to complex KNX systems, door communication, and security technology.

The brand remains a family-owned enterprise, currently managed by the fourth generation of the Giersiepen family. While its global reach spans over 40 countries, its core manufacturing and research operations are deeply rooted in Radevormwald, Germany. Recent expansions have included the acquisition of key subsidiaries like the British specialist company Wandsworth in 2022 and Stettler Kunststofftechnik, which enhances their expertise in precision plastics technology. This combination of traditional German engineering and modern digital innovation has solidified Gira's position as a premium provider for both residential and commercial projects internationally.
