Performance You Can Trust.
Quality & service to directly benefit your business
Eliminate Damage
Damage to expensive or critical items can result in major problems. But your products can benefit from having a foam insert designed to their exact size / shape, as well as calculated levels of cushioning.
This is achieved using software that accurately predicts foam performance, based on extensive data. You can further protect your items through choosing from a huge range of exterior cases.
Custom Design
We are confident your business will see tangible benefits from working with our experienced designers and engineers. You can also take advantage of a range of services to make life easier & reduce costs.
This includes a vendor managed inventory, mobile design service (ensuring you do not have to release items for the design process), free unbiased advice and no obligation quotes on any job, large or small.
Single Source
A common issue when specifying cases and foam from differing sources is that, not only is the cost higher, but the fit and compatibility between product, foam and exterior case is less than perfect.
With a well equipped, modern conversion facility, skilled production team and experienced designers, GWP can reduce your costs through being a genuine single source case and foam supplier.
