GWI AG                                                    8 Pages

German based GWI AG is growing fast both organically and inorganically. It holds a strong position in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Over the last couple of years, the company has started to expand beyond its boundaries and with some of its recent acquisitions GWI is coming out of its comfort zone of the German-speaking countries. Its latest acquisition of BOSS and previous acquisitions of TIANI and EuropMedica, has positioned GWI in a strong position in the European market. GWI holds a good reputation among its customers and has solution capabilities to attract new customers. TekPlus believes GWI AG is all set to give a tougher time to its competitors and we believe the company is in a promising position.
