Garderos GmbH celebrates its 20th Anniversary
From a spin-off of the ICN division of Siemens AG, we have become a strongly growing company over the years against some odds.
The fact that most of us have been part of the team for such a long time is just one of the reasons to be so proud.
Values such as fairness, trust and loyalty are part of our corporate culture and define our treatment of each other and our customers.
Just as our name giver Gardeiros, son of Poseidon, watches over the gateway to the Mediterranean Sea together with his twin brother Atlas in Greek mythology, Garderos protects and watches over the network of critical infrastructures.
