History and Evolution - Founded in 1978 by Guido Gariboldi, GVZ Components started by distributing GTE Sylvania’s glass bottle motor protectors in Italy, Switzerland, and Eastern Europe. In 1988, we expanded into the Italian market with Figaro Engineering, a Japanese industrial gas sensor manufacturer, significantly growing our gas sensor business. By 1992, we became the exclusive distributor for FIS Inc. (now NISSHA FIS), a leading Japanese semiconductor gas sensor manufacturer.

In 2006, Sensata Technologies was formed through the merger of First Technologies (formerly GTE) and part of Texas Instruments. Recognized as a primary distributor, GVZ broadened its product portfolio and strengthened its position in the industrial, automotive, HVAC, and HVOR markets.

Global Reach and Expansion - In 2016, GVZ further solidified its partnership with Sensata by becoming the global distributor for the Alternative Fuel Market portfolio. This expansion allowed us to supply the entire EMEA region and key global accounts in Canada, the USA, and India.

Evolution into Manufacturing - Since 2023, GVZ Components has not only excelled as a distributor but has also emerged as a producer. We proudly introduce our own line of gas detectors, the MLD series, which covers refrigerants, flammables, methane, and hydrogen. This new venture enhances our commitment to providing high-quality, innovative solutions to our customers.

Diverse Partnerships and Products - Today, under the leadership of Paolo Gariboldi, GVZ Components has partnered with a diverse range of companies including Merit Sensor (MEMS pressure sensors), GSS (CO2 infrared sensing solutions), Maxtec (medical oxygen sensors), Shinyei (particulate and humidity/temperature sensors), Rincon Power (manual disconnect switches), Semeatech (electrochemical sensors), Teviso (radiation sensors), Altelix (waterproof enclosures), NevadaNano (multi-gas sensors), Riken Keiki (portable and fixed gas sensor devices), and SaverOne (preventing smartphone distraction while driving).
