Establishment of a company
It all began in 1896, when Karl Geppert (1867-1918) purchased a property on Breitweg in Hall in Tyrol and founded the Geppert company there. Since then, concepts for the efficient use of hydropower have been developed and successfully implemented with the aim of using this proven energy source as the energy of the future.
Hightech made in Austria
Josef Geppert (1905-1994) set a milestone back in the 1950s with the development of the robust oil-hydraulic turbine speed governor.
Full automation of hydropower plants
In 1982 Wilfried Geppert (born 1945) implemented the first programmable logic controllers for hydropower stations. This led to full automation of the hydropower plants – another mainstay for the reliable generation of clean green electricity was established.
4th generation
With pride in its domestic know-how in turbine construction, family Geppert is developing forward-looking energy solutions in fourth generation with Mag. Guntram Geppert (born 1969).
Expansion of the company location of Geppert Group Holding GmbH
In September 2016, the family Geppert took a major step forward in its ongoing development: at the location in Hall in Tyrol, already established as a global centre, a generously dimensioned office building including a completely newly equipped production hall and warehouse was constructed at Geppertstrasse 6. On a floor space of more than 10,000 m², highly trained specialists and state-of-the-art machines are at work. The complete supply of the company building is covered by regenerative energy sources. In the interest of renewable energies. To preserve an environment worth living in.
Establishment of Geppert Hydro GmbH
By establishing of Geppert Hydro GmbH, another future-oriented milestone was initiated in the advancement and specialization in the direction of hydropower applications.
Professional, not usual
We are proud of our domestic engineering skills, and as a turbine manufacturer we now supply countries all over the world with innovative and customized power plant solutions featuring 5 different types of turbines. All water turbines and plants are designed, developed, built and carefully tested at the Geppert Group Holding Headquarter in Hall in Tyrol, using world-leading engineering skills.
