PRESS RELEASE
Globalpark celebrates 10 years of helping organizations gain insights that drive decision-making and bottom-line growth
New York, London September 3, 2009: Today Globalpark, a leading provider of panel, community and survey software, celebrates its 10th anniversary in the online feedback management business.
On this day in 1999 Globalpark opened its doors and welcomed first customer, Daimler, who at the time also manufactured trains and airplanes. Globalpark built the Daimler T Panel, which brought together 35,000 participants to share their opinions and experience with travel, most notably around train seat design. This project was one of the earliest examples of online collaborative product innovation. Globalpark continues to be at the forefront of online research today.
Yvonne Meissner of Daimler remarked: “We are very pleased to celebrate this milestone with Globalpark, who continue to be a key partner for Daimler allowing us to involve our customers in product development and innovation.”
Globalpark is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a half-day multi-track event in the place where it all started: Cologne, Germany. Thilo Lohmüller, Division Manager at GfK will be presenting at the jubilee celebration. “During the building of our Textile Online panel, Globalpark impressed us with their comprehensive understanding of our needs, and attention to the small details which make a big difference. I continue to be impressed with Globalpark’s offering, and their commitment to quality and to efficient research.”
“We are happy to share this experience with our customers, and thank them for allowing us to be a part of their success. For us, it has always been all about enabling organizations to reach their goals with a high return on investment, and it remains our philosophy today” said Lorenz Gräf, Chief Executive Officer at Globalpark.
Globalpark was recently ranked in the 2009 Deloitte Fast 50 Deutschland, as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Germany, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. This is Globalpark’s third consecutive year on the prestigious list.
