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.

Expanding into Electrification

Recognizing the growing demand for electrification, GVZ Components has expanded its product offerings to include components for electric vehicles (EVs). Our electrification product range includes EVCC control units, BMS (Battery Management Systems), voltage and current sensors, isolation control modules, fuses, and thermal runaway sensors. These components are designed to meet the rigorous standards of the evolving EV market, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency.

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 (Patented MPS™ gas sensors and MethaneTrack™ Methane leak detection system), Riken Keiki (portable and fixed gas sensor devices), and Streamax (telematics, ADAS, DMS, blindspot monitoring).

MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor

Product overview

NevadaNano’s MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor quickly and accurately conducts methane gas leak detection in the most challenging environments – from Arctic wellheads to shale fields in South Texas. Immediate alerts and prioritization are made possible because real-time sensor arrays powered by the MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor continuously feed cloud-based monitors. 24/7 point detection is the ideal solution to achieve fast mitigation of fugitive methane emissions across the entire oil and gas supply chain. The MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor is built on a robust Microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) platform that is inherently low-power, poison and drift-resistant. Because of this, it enables service and calibration intervals that can be measured in years. Built-in environmental compensation enables reliable, accurate performance across a range of harsh conditions, from -40ºC to 75ºC and 0% to 99% relative humidity. The MPS™ Methane Gas Sensor is a natural choice in order to gain accurate methane gas leak detection in harsh, remote, and complex environments.
