The first years see the company committed in the manufacturing of control panels for lifts. 1960/1966 The first prototype of central direct drive piston is developed in the early nineteen sixties. The production starts with 100 hydraulic systems per year 1971 Because of its exponential increase in sales, GMV transfers its operations to a modern plant in Pero (Milan). In a few years, the production increases from 600 to 5,000 hydraulic systems per year. 1972 This date is of particular significance for GMV. Thanks to the 2:1 roping, a new market sector � namely the passenger system � opens for hydraulics. In the following years, the production of components is launched and an international distribution network is created through the establishment of partner companies in Germany, France and Spain. 1976 The market dictates the launch of the telescopic piston, which is developed in the production engineering department of the Pero plant. 1980/1990 In this same period of time, new manufacturing facilities are established in Germany, France, Greece, India, Canada, and Argentina. 1992 The growth continues with no interruptions. The Novara plant is purchased. The spreading of GMV products throughout the world increases. 1993 A new plant is opened in Sweden, mainly dedicated to the production of telescopic pistons. 1998 The line of SL (Slim) pistons and control units is introduced to enable new, improved performance as well as a remarkable reduction in the use of hydraulic oil. 2000 By introducing the line of Green Lift Coordinated Components, GMV offers all the installers the opportunity of developing their own lifts with no need of hydraulic machine room. 2003 GMV seizes the attention of the market with its Green Lift MRL-MC line: machine room less lifts whose control equipment is located in a cabinet outside the shaft. 2004 GMV designs an innovative electronic valve for hydraulic lifts which � with limited cost � ensures high running comfort, excellent performance and reductions of both consumption and power installed. 2006 Sensitive to the requirements of the market, GMV creates the Green Lift Fluitronic line, which are characterized by a digital technology electronic valve for optimum performance (e.g. in energy saving and cost containment), DRY control units with nonsubmerged motors to reduce consumption and environment-friendly fluids whose features ensure far lower environmental impact as compared to the conventional mineral oil. GMV develops new products to complete the Green Lift Fluitronic line: lifts with no machine room (GLF MRL-T) and reduced shaft and head. At the same time, GMV elaborates the Gearless Belt technology and introduces on the market the Green Lift Gearless Belt systems, whose asynchronous motors with no permanent magnets are ideal for uses beyond 6 stops. 2008 Furthermore, the range of GMV抯 complete systems is enriched by the GPL goods lift, VL car lifts and Home Lifts. 2009 The Green Lift Fluitronic in compliance with new Machine Directive 2006/42/EC, patterned ont the L.U.L.A. (Limited Use Limited Application) American installations, is launched on the market. 2010 GMV has designed and produced the Easy kit in order to give new life to old hydraulic lifts. Easy kit includes a DRY power unit with electronic valve in compliance with NGV digital technology, interface board for the connection of existing electrical parts, and ecologic oil. Easy kit reduces consumption considerably (installed power as well as the noise of the lift) and guarantees excellent performance and comfort.
