The JV is located about 1000 km southeast of Moscow in the Oblast Penza. The OOO PZTG (Penza Zavod Telema GINO) covers with its existing know-how and the new possibilities to manufacture products of GINO AG and Telema almost all application areas in the industrial and railway technology with power resistors.
May 2010 the shareholder Telema Holding S.r.l. Milan/Italy takes over all shares of GINO GmbH, Bonn from GIBG (“Gielen Beteiligungsgesellschaft”) and HIBG (“Hahn Industriebeteiligungsgesellschaft, mbH”), who previously held 33.3% each.

GINO Niederlassung Shanghai 2003In March 2003, a subsidiary was set up in Shanghai, China for the production and sales of industrial and train resistors. SGT Shanghai GINO Telema Resistor Comp. Ltd. started operations on 1 August 2003.
GINO Telema 2002In early summer 2002, the company group was restructured and ownership reorganized. With the taking on of a new partner, the former ESE, now Gielen Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH, Hahn Industriebeteiligungsgesellschaft and Telema s.p.a now each hold 1/3 of the shares.
GINO 1995Effective in fiscal 1995, the business division “Resistors and sheet metal forming"" was spun off from ESE and transferred to GINO AG. With this move, GINO started to manufacture resistors at both locations in Bonn and Eisenach.
ESE 1991In the fiscal year 1991, the partners of GINO AG acquire 100% of the shares in VEB Elektroschaltgeräte Eisenach ESE and transform this company into ESE Elektroschaltgeräte Eisenach GmbH. From the beginning, GINO takes charge of the marketing and sales of the steel grid resistors manufactured by ESE.
GINO 19771977 marked the year of the founding of GINO Gielen + Nothnagel GmbH with a nominal capital of DM 400,000. Sales in the first year of business came in at DM 1.8 million. After its founding, the company’s acquired the activities of the resistor manufacturer C. Wiemann, who had been manufacturing resistors of all types for 60 years under the name of C. Wiemann Elektrotechnische Fabrik. 2013 Foundation of a new JV company in Penza/Russia. From this point on the PZTG (Penza Zavod Telema Gino) is responsible for distribution of the GINO resistors and sales activities in Russia and in future also for east-eruopean market.

iris_logoIn the autumn of 2008 GINO AG is the first worldwide leading manufacturer of Power Resistors for Industry- and Traction Business, that has successfully passed the new Quality Standard IRIS (International Railway Industry Standard) by being certified through TÜV Süd.
ginomatic_schink_ausgabe13_thIn spring 2007, the fully automatic special machine GINOmatic for the manufacture of 6GN1 resistor blocks was commissioned. GINOmatic was designed in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute in Aachen and sets new standards regarding our products’ quality. While manufacturing costs remain the same, an increase in production quantity is achieved.
gino_bonn_01In the first half of 2006, the offices at the Bonn plant were extended. A completely new and generously designed reception area as well as additional conference rooms and offices supplement our company building. For some time now, the growing need for additional room has been making an extension necessary.
gino_bonn_02At the Bonn plant, a warehouse built on the longitudinal side of the manufacturing building in 2004 provides additional room for the temporary and final storage of semi-finished and finished products. Moreover, the shipping facilities are now located more centrally and offer sufficient space for loading and unloading the goods.
historieIn March 2003, a subsidiary was set up in Shanghai, China for the production and sales of industrial and train resistors. SGT Shanghai GINO Telema Resistor Comp. Ltd. started operations on 1 August 2003.
siemens_logoIn the fiscal year 2000, GINO takes over the industry and train resistor manufacturing activities of Siemens AG A+D PUIB Nuremberg and with that the production and sales of all resistor products made by Siemens, namely cast iron resistors, oil-cooled starters, motor starters, neutral grounding resistors and, last but not least, resistors for transport engineering.
tuevIn the course of fiscal 1999, the two plants in Bonn and Eisenach were successfully certified according to the new standard TÜV ISO 9001 and the corresponding quality management system was implemented for the complete company.
