Guntermann & Drunck have always put great emphasis on long-term success \u2013 especially when it comes to their employees. A perfect example for this are Elke Marcus and Michael Pauly. For 25 years now, they\u2019ve been part of G&D\u2019s success story.<\/p>\n

Back then, 25 years ago\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everything was a bit different than today, both of them tell me. Back then, G&D was a small company with 20 employees and located in Siegen. \u201cMy tasks were a bit more diverse and I had a lot of freedom, but I was often left on my own. It was definitely an exciting time\u201d, says Michael Pauly. 25 years ago, he started working in the production of G&D, now he\u2019s part of our support team. \u201cBut we\u2019ve grown pretty well into our new tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>
Michael Pauly and Elke Marcus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And growth is something, Guntermann & Drunck are quite familiar with. In our 30-year company history our team has grown to more than 100 employees. This first required a move to a bigger headquarter in Wilnsdorf, which was followed by several additions and then another move \u2013 to Siegen\u2019s new industrial park.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the people who count<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In our fast-paced time, it can’t be taken for granted that employees stay with a company for 25 years. But G&D put their cards on long-term success when it comes to their products as well as to their employees. \u201cIt\u2019s the people who count. We enjoy being here and that\u2019s why I\u2019m still here, even after 25 years\u201d, says Elke Marcus who works in the production department. \u201cEveryone can talk to everyone, that\u2019s something that hasn\u2019t changed even with our growing number of employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

But of course, some things have changed: Back then with only 20 employees it felt like being in a school class together. Now with a team of around 100 it\u2019s more like a really big family where it\u2019s not that easy to bring everyone together at the same time. \u201c25 years ago we all got together every Friday after work and went on many trips together, too. Today, that\u2019s more difficult, but we still enjoy G&D\u2019s legendary parties<\/a>. For example celebrating 30 years of G&D last year. And the next big step is already in sight…<\/p>\n

Back to the roots<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After several additions to the current building, all possibilities the headquarter in Wilnsdorf has to offer are exhausted. The continuously growing G&D family needs more space. Of course, the move back to Siegen requires lots of effort. But Elke Marcus and Michael Pauly consider it a new adventure: \u201cWe\u2019re really excited about the move.\u201d But there\u2019s one thing both of them agree upon: they want to stay with G&D – \u201cuntil they drag us out of here\u201d, both of them say laughing.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your great work and your loyalty over all these years. We look forward to the next years of working with you.<\/p>\n
