As early as 1999, we started delivering public service content from the major German broadcasters via the Internet. At that time, streaming was still in its infancy, but it was already growing at a rapid pace. G&L was instrumental in setting this pace, and our focus was always on being one step ahead of the status quo. This is still true today and is the reason why broadcasters, agencies, and companies place their trust in us: technical expertise, coupled with experience and a passionate desire to always be at the forefront of technology.

Long-standing partnerships and continuous market observation contribute to our shared success. We spot industry trends early on and bring forth future-proof technologies. Therefore, our partners are as diverse and multifaceted as our customers: Our proven network ranges from leading providers for CDN services, to vendors of players and encoders, to service providers for monitoring and controlling IT systems.

Trust as the central foundation

Our customers are at the center of the value chain. We take every step together with them. This begins with providing honest advice. The aim is to offer each customer the solution that makes the most sense for them – both from a technical and a financial viewpoint. We work within interdisciplinary teams and push each other to the limits until we find the very best way. The much quoted “extra mile” is not just an empty phrase for us – we genuinely go it. Every day.

Our core values

  • Customer centricity

    Our customers are at the center of all our efforts. They are our source of inspiration. We ascertain their needs and always try to exceed their expectations.

  • Quality

    We set high standards, especially for ourselves. Our stated goal is to provide excellent services and to continue to get better with every project. We shoulder responsibility and can always act appropriately with mental, organizational and process agility.

  • Trust

    As a team, we can always rely on each other. We earn the trust of our customers and partners time and again by acting honestly, sincerely, and reliably.

  • Respect

    We treat each other with esteem, consideration and mutual respect. We take care of each other and show appreciation for each other’s achievements. As a signatory to the "Charta der Vielfalt", we are proud to be a diverse and inclusive company. We do not shy away from factual discussion and love a frank word. It is the issue at hand that we attack, but never the person.

  • Curiosity

    We always are curious what added value technology can offer. Our expertise is always cutting-edge. Through our burning desire to get to the bottom of issues, we solve problems better than others.

  • Consistency

    Without experience and consistency, we would be less successful. They represent the cornerstones of our success. We strive for long-term and reliable relationships with our customers and partners, as well as within our internal teams.

  • Enjoyment of life

    Life is short, and the world is serious enough on its own. Laughter and a pinch of craziness complement our professionalism and grease the wheels of our working world.
