September 4, 2012 – GEWI’s 20th Anniversary
On September 4th, 1992 in Stassfurt, Germany, Hagen Geppert
and Dr. Karl Will formed GEWI to create hardware and software to show traffic
information on TV sets, for example at airports. Sony and
Grundig were two of GEWI’s early clients along with the Automobile Association
(AA) in the UK for which GEWI created TMC Office, the predecessor of what today
is TIC. Ten years ago, TIC was used for the European Road Information
Centre (ERIC) to create, collect, and exchange traffic data between 22 countries
in 7 different languages. (The project continues today as ARC). TIC
is now in its fourth generation and GEWI has grown from the single office in
Germany to now also include offices in the UK, Singapore and the United States.
TIC is used for a variety of transportation related projects
worldwide, and used by a wide range of public and private sector
organizations. We invite you to visit www.gewi.com to

and now in his 19th year with the company) or watch some of
