On 1st January 1986 GRIPS, the engineering office for specialist publications, took up work and since 1997 we have also been working for Internetservice. Our target groups are exclusively technologically oriented. Our activities and experience are mainly concerned with iron and steel production, further processing, pre-processing, plant construction, suppliers but also with mechanical engineering and related subjects.

Working at GRIPS are Dipl.- Ing. Kerstin Garbracht (ferrous metallurgy) and Dipl.-Ing. Clemens Garbracht (mechanical engineering), both with diplomas from the well-known university of RWTH Aachen. Additional training has been acquired in software, internet and in editing of technological topics. We are supported by our editing assistant. And by the way; our English texts are translated or revised by native speakers of the language.

Most of the work is done at our head office in Bad Harzburg. The second office in Düsseldorf, operating since 1999, ensures constant close contact with our customers, because a close personal relationship with you, our customers, is essential for a perfect presentation.

Some of our customers: Verlag Stahleisen GmbH; Giesserei-Verlag; DVS-Verlag; Handelsblatt-Verlag; BFI Betriebsforschungsinstitut; RWTH Aachen; BVG Beratungs- und Verlagsgesellschaft; SIZ Stahl-Informations-Zentrum; ThyssenKrupp AG; VDEh Verein Deutscher Eisenhüttenleute; Alstom Power Conversion; PSI-BT AG; Salzgitter AG, Voest-Alpine Stahl, ....
