Experience and innovation. These two words symbolise GIA industri ab. Experience as a result of our long-standing involvement and in-depth knowledge of the underground industry, and innovation that is evidenced by our constant strive to introduce new ideas and developments.
GIA industri ab was founded back in 1884. Initially, GIA sold tools, consumables and other essential items to companies in the region.
The embryo of today's business was conceived in the early fifties, when GIA began importing and selling heavy locomotives to local mines. These were in great demand and in the sixties the company took the decision to start building its own locomotives.
Since then, GIA has grown steadily and what was once a typically local supplier has become a company that regards the entire globe as its market place. Today, GIA is represented in every continent of the world with around 80 percent of sales exported overseas. This trend is continuing and whenever a new tunnelling or mining project is set up anywhere in the world, GIA industri ab is on hand.
Continuous development is also a feature of the products of the Grängesberg company. It is our ambition to be a complete supplier of equipment for the mining and tunnelling industry. Wherever the customer is based in the world they should only need a single contact – GIA industri ab.
In the harsh competitive environment that typifies global industry today, GIA industri ab has taken a significant decision. In order to survive we must develop and expand in response to the market's requirements. With the wide product range GIA industri ab is well equipped for the future. A solid financial foundation and a broad network of agents will ensure that our company remains a major player.
Our product range is almost complete – with locomotives ranging from two tonnes to forty tonnes, Charging and Service trucks, Shotcreting and Grouting equipment, complete system for underground Ventilation, low profiled Kiruna Truck for underground haulage and supply of a full range of high-speed tunnelling equipment including digging arm loaders and shuttlecar haulage systems. New machines and applications are being developed continuously to meet market demands. Thanks to its customer orientation, GIA is in many ways a problem-solver to the mining and tunnelling industry. Customers all over the world tell us what they need and GIA puts together a tailor-made solution. In this way new machines are developed in collaboration with the market.
All manufacturing takes place at GIA's production facility in Grängesberg, Sweden, which has been extended and modernised to cope with the volume of orders. The fact that production is managed entirely by GIA also means that the company carries out its own quality testing on all products before they are delivered to customers around the world.
But selling involves more than just supplying quality products to the market place. Building up long-term business relationships calls for an all-round approach, in which service and spare parts, short delivery times and a friendly attitude are all vital factors that cannot be neglected. GIA understands this very well. The company therefore places great emphasis on finding working partners and agents around the world who can meet these important requirements. This is time-consuming work, but the reward for our efforts is well worth it – satisfied customers who come back year after year. So don't hesitate, become one of them now!
