In the 1970s, the development of new biocide formulations was still in its infancy. Only three biocide suppliers for the paper industry existed.
| 1975 |
The manufacturer of laboratory and testing devices for the paper producing industry Gockel GmbH adds a biocide unit to the growing company. Robert Halbeisen guides this expansion. The company becomes the distributor of products made by the French Roussel-Uclaf Company, a subsidiary of the former Hoechst AG. |
| 1978 |
Robert Halbeisen was first to introduce CMI / MI in combination with bronopol as broad spectrum biocide to the industry. |
| 1985 |
Introduction of the trade name GINSER for in-house developed products. |
| 1989 |
Sale of the Gockel & Co GmbH to the partner Lorentzen & Wettre. |
| 1990 |
Under the leadership of Robert Halbeisen the company registers and starts doing business under the name G.IN.SER GmbH. |
| 1992 |
Foundation of the sister company G.IN.SER Gesellschaft mbH in Austria. |
| 1997 |
Registration of the German G.IN.SER GmbH as G.IN.SER GmbH & Co. KG. |
| 2002 |
The company moves from Munich to Holzkirchen, a small market town in Bavaria, Germany. |
At this time, it became clear that adding a microbiology laboratory
would mean progress, would allow it to offer sound consulting services
and increase sales. The company established the microbiology
laboratory immediately. In 1976, the industry adopted system analyses,
which were developed in this laboratory. To this day, these system
analyses are the basis for our scientific work.
Our dosing technology also advanced to meet the growing requirements.
It made the G.IN.SER Company a leader in the industry.
The industry was looking for biocides with as wide a spectrum as
possible. In the 1980s, we made first attempts to combine biocides
with surfactants and emulsifying agents. The G.IN.SER Company was
first to bring such a combination product to the international
markets. It was and still is successfully used and marketed under the
name GINSER 455.
Later, our competitors marketed bio-emulsifiers, which originally did
not contain biocides.
In the mid-1990s, the G.IN.SER Company pressed on with innovations and
the development of environmentally friendly products. During
degradation, these new products disintegrate into harmless compounds.
The use of peroxyacetic acid brought more innovation and a new
dimension to the treatment of paper machine circulation systems. To
this day, these products contribute to the success of the G.IN.SER
Company.
Continued development of the combination product CMI/MI with bronopol
in the 1990s stabilized the pH of this product. This widened the range
of use and paved the way toward more economic uses in individual
applications.
Aside from the mentioned innovations and developments, the company now
improves and advances the existing systems. In our current work, we
hone in on new products with strong prospects to prevail in the
markets. This also includes keeping a vigilant eye on costs. When new
systems enter the market they are critically examined for the promise
of real progress. Keeping the costs low is important for the product
acceptance. Seemingly good new ideas may fall by the wayside because
equivalent products already exist.
Industries other than the paper producing industry also use biocides
for similar purposes. Aside from other applications and other uses in
the paper producing industry, biocides are for example also used in
the fresh water treatment. Biocides also play a role in the paper
processing industry for the preservation of glue as well as in the
paint and textile productions.
