Spirit of GWP

Dear interested parties & customers,
we were allowed to discuss your material-technical problem with you in detail and you have ordered our detailed offer, we will sincerely take care of your benefit with all our knowledge and skills. Our recipe for success is as simple as this - this "spirit" was "breathed" into GWP by my father 40 years ago. Enthusiastic customers simply give us great pleasure!

You as a customer and materials technology user satisfy our hunger for demanding and exciting orders. We regard your enquiry as a leap of faith and we will present you with a transparent offer that already contains our know-how from decades of applied materials science - free of charge! Our claim is to process your order in "handcrafted" high quality and you make us shine when we additionally inspire you with our often unique recommendations in the reports and expertises. For this to work, mutual openness and above all your trust is necessary. But how do you gain your trust? We know: through cooperation and your success through - initially smaller - orders. In the past decades we have already entered into such win-win partnerships a thousand times.

How does that work in GWP? Every GWP'ler is a specialist or expert with excellent knowledge, experiments skilfully, is happy to cooperate with you and neighbouring disciplines and always shows drive. We share our experience and knowledge with each other and our unique databases and archives help us to do so. As an independent, owner-managed institute, we offer absolute confidentiality, speed and quality.
