"hybs" hybrid service bundles

The increasingly complex products of successful industry require a bouquet of skills and capacities. Budgets are available for this at short notice and our business model offers high, sometimes unique customer benefits through scalable and networked skills. If we don't have a skill "on board", we build it up! Our growth has created such a large landscape of laboratories and expertise that we can serve almost any company. Take a look at the organizational chart - it arose from customer requests and employee initiatives! And we expect more products and skills from our employees. This business model results in a larger company than the sum of all skills and serves the complex knowledge society.

Hybrid service bundles in materials science – we call them “hySB” – refer to the combination of services, expertise and manufacturing capabilities that are relevant in both materials science and product development and manufacturing. These bundles provide an integrated solution to help customers develop and optimize products. Here are some key components of such hybrid service bundles:

Deutsche Eiche GWP Mission Statement Julius Nickl

Dear interested parties & customers,

Once we have had the opportunity to discuss your material-related problem in detail with you and you have commissioned our detailed offer, we will use all of our knowledge and skills to ensure your benefit. Our recipe for success is that simple - this "spirit" was "breathed" into GWP by my father 40 years ago. Enthusiastic customers simply give us great joy!

You, as a customer and material technology user, satisfy our hunger for challenging and exciting orders. We see your request as a vote of confidence 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 aim is to process your order with high "craftsmanship" quality and you will make us shine when we also inspire you with our often unique recommendations in the reports and expert opinions. For this to work, mutual openness and, above all, your trust are necessary. But how do you win your trust? We know: through cooperation and your success through - initially smaller - orders. In the past decades, we have already entered into thousands of such win-win partnerships.

How does this work at GWP? Every GWP employee is a specialist or expert with excellent technical knowledge, experiments skillfully, is happy to cooperate with you and neighboring disciplines and always shows initiative. We share experience and knowledge with each other and our unique databases and archives help with this. As an independent, owner-managed institute, we offer absolute confidentiality, speed and quality. We are proud of our accredited laboratories and workshops for metallography, microscopy, chemistry, catalysis, electronics and mechanics; as a customer, you expect this.

GWP has a long-term horizon - our guiding principle is the "German oak". We value long-term employees and we achieve this with intensive training, varied, independent tasks and respectful interaction. You as a customer feel this sustainability and often remain loyal for decades.

To a good cooperation!
