Top performance

Together
… for us means productive and close cooperation between us - the people of GP - and with our customers towards a common goal.
Our values
Strength & Vitality
Organically grown – A vital and healthy Company
The vitality of our Company is based on hard work, technical inspiration and down-to-earth economics. Vitality means independence. Only a healthy company can actively shape the future as the reliable partner of its customers and its social environment. Another guiding maxim is: the healthier the employees, the healthier the company. Vitality is key.
Family
Personality counts – leaving a mark together
Our corporate history is family history. It lives from the community of the people at GP and organically developed relations with our customers. For us, "family" means pursuing the same path and standing for a common target. We aim to make a noticeable mark – In the past. Today. Tomorrow.
Responsibility
Keeping our word – thinking long-term
We keep our word and stand by what we do. We think not in quarters, but in generations, and we aim at long-term targets and enduring partnerships. We bear special responsibility toward our customers, our employees, our environment and our Company.
Candidness
A clear view of the world – Honesty as a guiding principle
We are receptive to what happens around us. Recognizing that the world is changing helps us to act appropriately. We listen and clearly express our objectives and interests.
Continuous learning
Being ready for impulses – Living means learning
We are receptive to new impulses and capable of questioning our own viewpoint. We evolve from successes and failures. Learning and flexibility are the precondition for continuous development in a rapidly changing and complex world. Learning also means learning from each other.
Determination
Clear targets – Consistent focus of strengths.
We implement agreed targets, guidelines and provisions precisely and consistently. The interests of our customers, of our Company and of our natural and social environment are the standards that guide us. From our employees we expect commitment and motivation, and the determination to act for the achievement of GP's aims.
