Although GYS is headquartered in Laval, Mayenne – about 280 km west of Paris – the industrial group has R&D centers, factories and commercial subsidiaries in France, Germany, UK, Italy, India and China. Group history1964: In France, in 1963, EDF decided to change the electrical voltage from 110 V to 230 V. Guy Yves Stephany created GYS in 1964 with the purpose of manufacturing auto-transformers on behalf of EDF for the west part of France. 1970: In the early 1970s, GYS expanded its product range with car battery chargers. The company first engineered and manufactured car battery chargers in 6 V, then in 6 V/12 V and finally in 6 V/12 V/24 V. In the late 1970s, an additional product expansion is realized with the manufacturing of GYS' first welding machine. 1980–1996: Over 16 years, the company GYS is bought by two industrial holdings. During the same period, the company expanded its portfolio of welding products. 1997: GYS is acquired by the current management. The company had at the time a strong local brand in France for its battery charger range. The sale of welding products was more confidential and mostly concentrated in agricultural and automotive markets. 1997–2001: After the acquisition, significant investments are quickly made to modernize the historical French factory. Simultaneously, the management decided to expand the transformer-based welding machines range with the manufacturing of GYS first inverter electrode welding machine. 2001–2004: The company continues to invest in R&D to expand its inverter welding range to TIG/Plasma and MIG as well as its battery charger catalogue. During the same period, the management decided to expand the company product range with a third product range: automotive body repair spot welding products. Significant investments are made to continue to expand the French factory to match growing demand. 2004–Today: During this period, the group expands its three product families and decides to accelerate its international expansion with the opening of international subsidiaries.
