GERB is a Berlin-based vibration-control manufacturer whose dampers isolate structures and machinery from vibration.
GERB manufactures vibration isolation and damping systems organized in four product families: helical steel spring elements, Viscodampers, tuned mass dampers, and NOVODAMP closed-cell polyurethane. The families are used individually or in combination across machinery, building, and rail applications, with sliding bearings and bespoke solutions completing the stated supply basis.
Special applications cover earthquake and seismic protection, microseismic isolation for precision equipment, and foundation restoration. Service lines span technical consulting and measurement, engineering, research and development, quality management, and installation supervision, delivered from the Berlin headquarters and worldwide group facilities.
Demand for vibration isolation is driven by rail infrastructure and seismic protection, two long-cycle segments where GERB concentrates its current activity.
GERB's 2026 activity concentrates on rail infrastructure, with NOVODAMP under-ballast mats, floating slab track and rail pads shown at InnoTrans 2026, and on seismic protection, including 3D isolation systems for small modular reactor structures and technical sessions at the 18th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering.
GERB presents a full-range vibration-control portfolio: helical steel springs, viscous fluid dampers, tuned mass dampers, closed-cell polyurethane, and sliding supports, plus engineering, mounting, measurement and testing services. The company states its systems are known for longevity, reliability and maintenance-free operation.
It operates its own engineering departments, production facilities in several countries and a Berlin research and development centre, and it develops customer-specific solutions rather than catalogue-only products. Its NOVODAMP range is distributed through partners such as Vibratec for track applications, ballast mats and high-load building base isolation.
