GLP: Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Style
GLP (German Light Products) celebrated a landmark birthday at this year's Prolight+Sound Show in Frankfurt, Germany, when Udo Künzler, the company's founder, invited the ranks of international press and distributors to raise a glass and toast the company's first 20 years.
He was surrounded by the milestone products that have marked GLP's evolutionary journey over two decades, commencing with the Patend light and leading up to the birth of the ground-breaking impression series in 2007. Two high profile industry professionals who have contributed to sales of the impression series on both sides of the Atlantic, Kasper Gissel and Mark Ravenhill, were present (the latter providing a stirring introduction).
As guests feasted on cake and champagne (or GLP's specially bottled German beers), the party filtered next door to GLP dealer, B&K Braun, where the revelry continued.
Stated Mr. Künzler, "This was a very special occasion for us, and it was great to be able to welcome so many friends and supporters who have helped us along the way."
