GIESEKING nominated as „best magazine printer“

Gieseking was nominated for the Druck+Medien Award 2008 in the category of “best magazine printer".  

Previously Gieseking won an award at the prestigious “Innovationspreis der Druckindustrie“ (innovation award of the printing industry) in the category “corporate communication”. The award was presented in Frankfurt by Deutscher Drucker, Publishing Praxis, Grafische Palette, Versio! und PAGE. Several hundred printing companies from all over Germany applied in different categories for the award. The jury lauded the continuously varying formats and the diversity of pictures and illustrations which help the customer magazine “PingPong” to step out from the crowd. Other companies that have been awarded for the most innovative printing product were BMW, Porsche and Metro. Patron of the innovation award was the federal minister of economics and technology, Michael Glos.

The results reflect the appreciation of the accomplishments of Gieseking. “The fact, that independent juries rank us among the best printing companies strengthens our continuous effort to focus on creative printing products with high value for our customers,” says Thomas Gieseking, managing director of Gieseking.

Quality is everything – everything is quality

“Top quality for our products and service”, this is a core concept of our philosophy. In order to achieve this GIESEKING invests in state-of-the-art technology as well as in continuing training of employees. Such as the qualification of our quality manager to become a “TÜV-certificated” quality representative.
Through pioneering the use of "Prozess-Standard-Offset“ (PSO), the quality standard for offset printing, as well as the concept of Six Sigma – GIESEKING pursued new ways to achieve top quality. The overall objective is to achieve zero-defect quality through continuous improvements in the entire process. The quality management at GIESEKING is embedded in all production steps. Through analyzing the paper, carton board and ink delivered to us, we ensure that only high-class material is used. This leads to less waste, more efficient use of resources which in the end benefits you – our customer – as well as our environment.
