THE CONCEPT AND THE BENEFITS A complete, full-service workshop From planning, construction and set-up to service: the Global Workshop Alliance is a central service-provider for planning, construction and service for all vehicle workshop trades. The alliance focuses on achieving maximum cost-effectiveness and high investment security. A skilled partner you can count on. Letting us take care of the complete range of services means less coordination and project management on your part as we implement your objectives (which we define with you in advance).

THE PLAN The Global Workshop Alliance (GWA) is an association of multiple workshop fitting companies that have joined forces. It aims to support construction clients worldwide with the planning, realisation and set-up of workshop buildings and service for workshop equipment. Focus is given to the cost-effectiveness, central planning/ design and the investment security of the entire project. THE APPROACH Clients stand to gain a great deal by working with the Global Workshop Alliance. For the planning, construction and set-up of the workshop and equipment service work, the client can rely on a single central service-provider. This reduces the costs associated with project management and coordination. The GWA applies its all-inclusive approach from the outset. The scope of the planning phase encompasses the client s ideas, the specific market situation and the specifications provided by architects and vehicle manufacturers. It also includes various aspects of construction that can protect the environment and minimise resource waste and incorporates the GWA partners many years of experience. This results in workshop workflows that remain cost-effective and efficient in the long term. The workshops are set up with high-quality products produced in Germany by the GWA partners. All these products are perfectly compatible. The manufacturer s product recommendations and the individual requirements of the client are also taken into account as a matter of course. In addition, the GWA provides comprehensive support for all workshop equipment. The global and close-knit service network of GWA partners guarantees highly reliable availability of replacement parts and rapid responses when service is needed. 3

THE SCOPE For a smooth day-to-day workflow, expert, flexible service is just as important as high quality products. We consider service to cover both preventative maintenance and repairs following technical failure. It is vital that we respond quickly and flexibly when problems occur and that service work is provided with no complications. This is the only way to keep downtime-related costs within reasonable limits and to prove to end customers that their workshop is reliable and always on hand to help.
