Our History
Since GWK Klebetechnik GmbH was founded in 1999, we have enjoyed continuous positive development. We also have our customers and business partners to thank for this. In recent years, we have been able to develop into one of the leading companies in the field of bonding technology.
Our company consists of a young, highly motivated team that embodies traditional virtues such as reliability, quality awareness and environmental responsibility.
The permanent modernisation of our machinery and the constant optimisation of our workflows and production processes guarantee our consistently high quality standard.
