Over 100 years oftradition and innovationFrom switch manufacturer to system supplier
The roots of the German family-run company Gira extend
back to 1903. Richard Giersiepen constructed a further devel-
opment of the then-common toggle switch and applied for
a patent. Two years later he founded a company together with
his brother Gustav to introduce his invention and other parts
for house installation to the market. With it in 1905, the
Giersiepen brothers laid the cornerstone for over 100 years
of successful company history and the continuous further
development from a switch manufacturer to a system provider
for intelligent building technology. Today, Gira is led by the
fourth generation of the family.
Quality and innovation
From the beginning Gira has relied on quality – not only re-
garding materials and processing. Optimisation and advance-
ment have always played a central role in the entire product
range, as in the initial patent application. This is indicated by
numerous innovations with which Gira has decisively shaped
the market for building technology for more than a century. In
1960, Gustav Giersiepen’s grandson revolutionised the entire
field with a modular system for switches, push buttons and
cover plates. In the 1990s, Gira tapped the still-young field of
intelligent building control and set a milestone in 2008: With
the Gira Interface, an intuitively understandable user interface
was introduced for the Gira Home Server, the on-board
computer for the intelligent house. It is optimised for a wide
variety of operating devices such as the Gira Control Clients,
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and the computer. A year later,
Gira received the renowned Plus X Award for the most in-
novative brand in the home technology field.
Intelligent building technology from Gira
Award-winning design
In addition to the most demanding requirements on quality
and function, the topic of design has a long tradition at
Gira. With the S-Color switch range, Gira was one of the first
manufacturers to introduce cover frame variants in various
colours in the mid-1980s. It was presented with several design
awards and remains a permanent part of the range today.
The subsequent switch ranges also regularly receive awards in
international design competitions such as the red dot design
award and the IF Product Design Award. However, not only
the harmony of material, colour and form distinguish the
design concept from Gira. Due to the seamless integration of
innovative functions such as door communication devices,
audio systems and components to control intelligent building
functions in the Gira switch ranges, Gira sets new standards
regarding a comprehensive product design.
