History
Gema was founded in 1897 by Viktor Gehrig, who was joined in 1907 by Gottlieb Mannhart in Walenstadt, Switzerland, as a metalworking company. Soon after its relocation to St. Gallen in the 1950s, Gema began operating in the electrostatic powder coating industry. In 1971, Gema's research department was the first to successfully integrate the generation of high voltages into a spraying gun.
As of 2014, seven affiliated companies (located in Germany, the UK, Italy, France, the US, China and Japan), along with a broad network of international distributors in more than 60 countries, sell the products to a wide range of industrial users. The Gema units and equipment are developed and manufactured in the headquarters in St.Gallen.
Gema Switzerland exhibits its products at international trade shows for industrial coating, such as Paint Expo.
