It seems that they have been out of business for roughly ten years.

Highest voltages seen in their catalog: GV1A-2000, GV3A-2500, GV3A-2000H, GV3S-3000, GV3S-3000H, GV4S-3500, GV5A-3500, GV6A-3000. TV types M42 and M45 series to 12KV; some independently EIA listed go higher. Catalog is obsolete and rare item. "I" make solid-state drop-in replacements.

Here's a catalog:
