Mr Versmold, Godfrey & Wing is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year: What does the company stand for?
Ralf Versmold: Our motto is "simply better". It has driven the company since it was founded in 1948. The best example of this is that around 20 years ago, Godfrey & Wing completely dismantled the previous impregnation process and developed a new technology from it. That was a major paradigm shift and others later followed the same path. And we are not standing still. We are keeping pace with production development, especially in the automotive industry, which continues to be our biggest customer. Every component has its own challenges and you have to create the best combination of existing tools.
What characterises your company?
Our systems can be fully integrated into the customer's production process. We are directly involved in the line and the OEM places a raw part at the front and receives a really dense, finished, clean component at the back, which can be further processed in the production cycle.
