About Us

From concept towards a successful market introduction

We are a skilled team of thinkers and doers, with more than 25 years of experience and expertise in various areas of the Audio and Design Industry. We developed our own specific Ultimate Development Roadmap in the field of Project Management. Our method resulted in an unparalleled level of creative originality, quality and technical sophistication.

What makes us different

Many development agencies associate with the same developers, engineers and designers, which inevitably results in products that resemble their previous work in terms of design and concept. Our great diversity of - including freelance - professionals in the field of development, engineering and industrial / mechanical design, ensure an exclusive result. In addition, we live in a world where both people & companies are constantly changing and developing. To be agile enough to adapt to this evolution, we have developed a distinctive modus operandi. Already since 2011, our creatives and engineers have been operating from their home locations and workplaces, while connected by our business cloud and Project Management System. They are located in the European Union, Asia and last but not least the Americas. This approach offers more benefits for you as a client: you do more for less, while we apply the latest available technologies to streamline business processes and synergistically combine activities.

What this means for you

Speaking of economics, this implies less overhead and therefore higher value for money. Even more explicit: your project budget is not used to cover expensive offices and other overhead/costs, but the savings are passed on to you. Our main goal is to provide the highest level of development sophistication, against the best possible value for money ratio. To achieve this ultimo benefit–cost ratio (BCR), we use a distinctive method. An integral part of this working method is our Project Management System, which is used to communicate with our multidisciplinary developers and clients during a development project. This means that everyone involved has the resources to manage projects in an effective and decisive manner. By combining these features with our Ultimate Development Roadmap methodology, superior end results are guaranteed.

To Cases

Product certifications for the world market.

In close cooperation with our certification partners and certified tester - Phoenix Testlab GmbH - we can guide you to ensure that your product obtains the international mandatory product certifications. These concern both electrical and environmental requirements, but also chemical, disposal and last but not least EMC regulations within the international market. This way we ensure that your product is ready to be distributed and sold worldwide.

In the field of product development and production, many government-initiated environmental frameworks are being developed and implemented that force industries to take into account aspects that were unthinkable fifteen years ago. Sustainability and environmental impact are some of those aspects that require materials to be handled differently, but also that the CO₂ footprint must be kept as responsible as possible during the development and production of today's products.

Therefore we want to develop and produce products with our clients that can withstand the test of time, not only in terms of durability but above all provide sustainable and sensible choices from an economic perspective that will benefit future generations. Material choices that, despite sometimes higher costs, still offer a better end product. Products with a longer life expectancy and sublime Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) properties.

By improving the repairability of the product, an important step is also taken to improve the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) in such a way that products have a much higher durability. This way the price/quality ratio becomes the future reference as a sustainability indicator and not just the flat short term profit margins. With stakeholders excepting less profits in the short term, it will eventualy improve the long term value of products as a whole, simply because they are longer on the world market for consumers to be purchased.

Together with our clients, we want to develop systems that are not only cutting edge from a technical point of view, but also fit perfectly into our current market economies from a social and environmental point of view, with all aspects related to it. Systems that make a difference in quality and durability, but are also a long term investment for potential buyers, whereby focusing on sustainability the products can be depreciated over a longer period of use. “Value for Money” becomes the reference to combat investment devaluation in the longer term.

Despite the fact that higher investments are required for prospective buyers to purchase the developed end products, they offer more income due to a longer depreciation period and therefore ultimately a higher net turnover. This “Scope on Quality” will ultimately mean for consumers that their money will have more long-term value and that the current short cycle of use will change in favor of our environment.

An additional positive aspect of this fact is that the "second life" value of products receives a greater boost, because the products retain their value for a longer time. Even as a depreciated product for the investor, this remains an important factor with an ultimately positive influence on return on investment (ROI). This also gives the reputation of the brand of the relevant manufacturers a positive boost in renewing next-generation equipment for buyers. Buyers remain loyal to the brand because positive experiences are shared from the user group.

GW audio design wants to focus not only on the industrial, but also the social aspects of product development / manufacturing and the environment. Due to its complexity, the world has never been so dynamic in terms of - not only - our living environment, but also the importance of sustainable high-tech integration in our daily necessities. The demand for long-term consistent solutions is mounting, with many infrastructure backlogs also requiring decisive solutions and implementation.

The role of the industry in solving these social issues is evident; we also want to take our responsibility in this regard. Together with our clients, we want to develop products that are not only designed and manufactured responsibly, but also have a longer lifespan, thus placing a smaller burden on the available raw materials. Products that contain State-of-the-Art electronics and integrate intelligently thought-out build quality, thus becoming part of the solution instead of the problem.

The ultimate goal of bringing a new product to the - world - market is, in present times, a synergistic mix of both economic and social interests for both the stakeholders and the prospective buyers of the new product. This way, the client can distinguish itself in various ways within its market segment, while the consumer takes the lead in purchasing environmental responsible and durable new products.
