We are also aware of the need to maintain this position, among other things in the way we design our work-places and also with our company pension scheme. Clear performance orientation and a high level of individual responsibility are therefore typical of GESIPA, as is our continuing program of investment in our German production locations – where we are deliberately going against the trend. And because we know that our employees are our most important assets, we do a great deal for them. Assets, after all, do not accumulate automatically.
At GESIPA you meet people who are proud of the company's traditions built up since 1955, and of their ability and experience – and, of course, of their blind rivets. This also explains their resolve to achieve things together. And that will only work if they complement each other and work with trust, confidence, and team spirit, and also have fun while they're doing it.
The whole team meshes well to-gether, and they are all motivated and committed. They are highly qualified, and focused on quality and so ensure, day after day, that the quality is right at GESIPA – in sales, in production, and in development. There is a good reason that GESIPA is the world's leading manufacturer in blind-riveting technology, and an obvious reason for this success is that basic and ad-vanced training is a fixed part of the program with us – especially training with regard to the GESIPA quality
