Partnership & responsibility

creating bonds between people

Germany is still our main market, but we also supply our products to companies across Europe and in the United States as well as Canada, South America and Asia.

 

We've been successful in opening up new markets and building exciting, sustainable relationships ‒ across national borders and continents.

 

Successful partnerships are founded on trust. Trust in the performance and quality of the product, and of course, in the people that run the business.

This means we have a responsibility to continually invest in the education and training of our employees. As a result, our partners can rely on the technical expertise, motivation and performance of the people at Gremako in the long term.

 

This is something else that sets us apart from the competition and reinforces the trust placed in us each and every day.
