Gaben spol. s r. o. is a Czech-owned company founded in 1991. From its beginnings as an IT equipment and service provider, it has grown to specialize in identification systems for manufacturing and logistics companies. Its portfolio at present can be divided into several categories:

• Designing and implementing integrated bar code or RFID-based automatic identification systems in manufacturing and logistics facilities, including developing in-house software applications
• Distributing wholesale components (scanners, terminals, label printers)
• Selling consumer material for thermal-transfer printing (labels and color ribbons)
• Complete SOHO support for users, including printing customized labels and consulting
• Authorized service and technical support

The quality and value of our services and solutions has led to our being ranked among the most important firms in the Czech Republic. On the manufacturing side, our clients include Alcan, Siemens Elektromotory, Continental VDO, Siemens Turbomachinery, Siemens rail vehicles, and Sempeflex among others; on logistics – Kaufland, PPL, Slovak Mail, Bohemia Cargo among others. We have used our own resources to implement “Cash and Carry” systems for major electrical appliances outlets, such as JAKUB, ARGOS, EMAS, EB BARTOŠ, AC WORD, ELFETEX and others.

Gaben spol. s r.o. is located in Ostrava with sales offices in Prague and Trenčín, Slovakia. It employs approximately 30 people and has an annual turnover of roughly CZK 100 million.

The products we use in our business activities and in-house applications are manufactured by renowned domestic and international firms. We are a direct importer of our key equipment, as well as an authorized service provider. Our principal partner is the Japanese manufacturer TOYOTA DENSO, for whom we are the exclusive dealer and only authorized service provider in Eastern Europe.
Our main suppliers are:

• TOYOTA DENSO (Japan) – complete portfolio for barcode identification
• DATAMAX (USA) – label printers
• DATALOGIC (Italy) – complete portfolio for barcode identification
• SOCIMAG (Spain) – consumable material for thermal-transfer printing

Since the very beginning we have placed emphasis on providing maximum technical support for all our equipment and it remains our philosophy today. This can be seen in the structure of our firm, where most of the employees are technicians. We provide warranty and post-warranty service for all the equipment we deliver, as well as on-site service for key customers. We have been certified by the ISO 9001:2000 norm in the fields of commercial service, implementation of projects and systems for identification and service equipment.

Detailed technical requirements, particularly in the industrial sector, have led us to develop our own software and hardware products, sometimes in cooperation with our partners, to meet these demands. The most successful include the GBE automatic applicator and the GB200x stationary terminals for data collection. Our GABETI software for printing labels has enjoyed more than a thousand installations in a wide variety of products.

Our most dynamic product in the last few years has been the GBCLINE data collection system, which currently fulfills most of the standards of MESA International.

The systems we deliver consist of either an autonomous part of the company’s information infrastructure or is subordinated to the ERP system. The systems in which we have successfully implemented, sometimes in cooperation with our partners, include SAP R/3, K2, ESO, MFG PRO and BAAN.

Gaben spol. s r.o. has enjoyed a wide range of success thanks to the spirit of cooperation among its employees and the support of their families.
