FRANCO BRITISH BUSINESS AWARDS NOMINATE GYS FOR THE 2010 INNOVATION AWARD
GYS Ltd, the French welding equipment and battery charger manufacturer achieved a finalist nomination at the 2010 Franco British Business Awards. GYS were nominated for their Green Flexible Voltage technology (GFV) which overcomes a trio of technical and environmental challenges provided by the UK electricity supply.
GFV equipped machines from GYS consume up to 30% less energy from the power supply. This vastly reduced the constraints of the UK 13A power supply, compared with 16A in Europe, enabling higher performance from the normal domestic plug. Secondly, the Flexible Voltage capability enables operation on any voltage in the range 85-265V thus products are suitable for the UK site requirement to work only on 110V, additional benefits include very high tolerance to any sub-optimal power supply such as power generators or long extension leads. Thirdly GFV simply uses less energy with the obvious extremely valuable Environmental and energy cost benefits.

One of just 3 awards made this year the Innovation award is designed for British and French companies which are particularly innovative demonstrated through proven competence in Research and Development or have launched a revolutionary new product. The awards were held and presented at the Mayfair Hotel London in the presence of Mr. Maurice Gourdault-Montagne, the French Ambassador and Sir Peter Westmacott the British Ambassador to France.

GYS is a French family-owned manufacturer of welding machines and automotive battery chargers. CEO Bruno Bouygues said “GYS main focus has always been the manufacturing of innovative and high technology machines. This new Green Flexible Voltage technology has received an extremely positive response from our clients in the UK market and we are very pleased to be nominated for its development, in the 2010 Franco British Business Awards.”
