Message from the management

Increased functionality, miniaturization, finer and more complex design rules, higher reliability, and cost pressure have been the main drivers of the very competitive Printed Circuit Board industry. By accepting these challenges, by speed and open communication, for more than 45 years Gould has been a preferred partner of our customers. Our goal for the future is to continue the close working relationship with our customers enabling us to offer economically the right products in highest quality with comprehensive service.

Our parent company Nippon Mining & Metals Co. Ltd. Tokyo, a global player in the non-ferrous metal resources and materials industry, is actively promoting a recycling oriented society. In line with the environmental policy, we pursue the more efficient use of limited global resources to achieve sustained growth. Already in 1992, as one of the first companies in Germany, we were accredited the ISO certificate. Today and for the future we commit ourselves to further reduce the consumption of resources such as energy and water and the final disposal of waste by permanently improving our production processes thereby actively contributing to the sustainable development of world society.

Corporate Social Responsibility is directly linked to our daily business activity. Our employees as well as the surrounding community can trust that safety and health is given highest priority at all times. Disclosure of all relevant corporate information while protecting personal information at the same time is self understood. The groups internal auditing system ensures a high standard of corporate ethics, adherence to social norms and legal compliance.
