RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We are shaping the valve technology of tomorrow – with pioneering technologies, in-depth process understanding, and the clear goal of offering our customers worldwide innovative solutions and measurable competitive advantages.
Research and development has been at the heart of GEMÜ since its foundation. We combine in-depth industry knowledge with state-of-the-art technology to develop products that make processes safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. Our teams work globally across three locations and set new trends in process and valve technology every year.
Behind every innovation are special people with unique skills and a common goal. Even in a future full of challenges and rapid technological change, it is clear that innovation and success are no coincidence. The courage to break new ground together, the skilled use of modern tools and methods, and a passion for technology and progress—that is the key.

THE BASIS OF OUR PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
Our products and solutions are based on clearly defined technology modules. They combine intelligent communication, precise sensor technology, simple operation, and innovative assembly concepts – for maximum efficiency, safety, and durability in your processes.
Modern interfaces such as IO-Link, ASI-5, and BLE intelligently connect valves with systems. They enable mobile operation, secure integration into process automation, and create the basis for predictive maintenance.
Integrated sensors provide precise operating data in real time. This allows wear and deviations to be detected early on and processes to be optimized in a targeted manner – for maximum plant availability and reduced maintenance costs.
Self-learning systems and app-controlled commissioning simplify handling. Automatic calibration and status displays accelerate processes and increase operational safety.
Tool-free assembly of actuator and diaphragm for fast, error-free installation. Optimized Kv values and longer service life ensure energy-efficient valves and lower operating costs.
FOUR AREAS OF INNOVATION, ONE COMMON GOAL
Our research and development combines forward-looking technologies with practical implementation. In four areas of innovation, we combine expertise, state-of-the-art tools, and creative ideas to create products that impress in terms of performance, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
With state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, we are setting new standards in design freedom and efficiency. 3D printing using high-performance polymers or metal alloys creates components with complex geometries that would be virtually impossible to produce using conventional methods. The result: shorter development times, reduced material costs, and greater functionality. From prototype production to small series, we deliver tailor-made solutions that optimize processes and conserve resources.
We combine digital development tools with in-depth industry knowledge to achieve precise and fast results. Automated CAD generation, variant management, and simulation-based optimizations reduce development time from days to minutes. Intelligent configuration tools and secure data platforms ensure that complex projects are implemented error-free, on time, and with the highest quality.
For us, sustainability begins in the concept phase. We select materials and designs that reduce energy consumption, minimize maintenance, and improve the carbon footprint. Efficient electric drives replace resource-intensive compressed air systems, and condition monitoring reduces the need for spare parts. This is how we combine cost-effectiveness with responsibility – today and in the future.
In our materials research, we develop innovative high-performance polymers and seal formulations that offer maximum chemical, mechanical, and thermal resistance. Every material is tested according to international standards (FDA, USP, EU). This results in materials that meet regulatory requirements, are durable, and at the same time open up new applications in demanding industries.
