Right at the beginning of spring, three international trade fairs were on the exhibition calendar of company GEDA-Dechentreiter GmbH & Co.KG.

Keep things tidy is no longer a problem – with the new GEDA-Liftbox. The completely new designed box was presented at the Roof+Timber 2012 in Stuttgart for the first time and was an immediate success.

German manufacturer GEDA was the winner of the “Product of the Year – Mast Climbing Platforms/Hoists” at this year's International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) with its personnel hoist GEDA Multlift P18 S.

There's no contradiction between having fun at work and providing peak performance. Companies can enjoy exceptional success where individuals in a company are enthusiastic and can identify fully with what they are doing and for whom. With this statement in 2008, GEDA set out to develop an intensive process for developing corporate culture even further – not because there was a lack of success previously but instead based on a desire to expand its position as a market leader in other segments.

The Bavarian building hoist manufacturer GEDA-Dechentreiter GmbH & Co. KG took again the opportunity to present part of its wide product range at the this year’s Roof+Timber in Stuttgart. The trade show attracted a large national and international audience.

In 2006 a new Service-Center was built on the existing GEDA premises in Asbach-Bäumenheim. It took over tasks which had already been part of the work process in the main company. During that planning phase the possibility of an extension of the building had already been included as an increase in demand for technical assistance was expected in future. Just some weeks ago the additional offices were ready to move in. Moreover a new, larger training classroom is now available and the staff facilities have been extended.
