GvW Video Blog starts operations
GvW will also use the medium of video in the future: the GvW Video Blog went online today. The GvW Video Blog has its own channel on YouTube and is linked accordingly to the GvW Homepage. We want to introduce in regular short videos the people who work for GvW. We are using videos in three different categories to address our clients, applicants, employees and other persons interested in GvW.
Playlist No. 1 involves current developments in the law which we describe in the video. Planned legislation, current case law, legal trends for companies – our specialists in our various offices will give you the newest information. What is special about GvW as an employer? We discuss this question in the Careers area and provide timely, direct impressions and views of our national and international offices. Under the heading Clients, we introduce interesting projects and creative ideas of our clients.
Christof Kleinmann and Dr. Robert Theissen, Managing Partner of the law firm commenting on the idea for the project: “The video medium plays an increasingly important rule in the digital age. Not just our children obtain information through videos; the business world has used information videos for a long time. In addition to our information offering in the form of text, we want to create additional, attractive content in our Video Blog.”
The law firm obtained professional support when implementing the project from the Munich film and production company Watchlola GmbH which GvW had accompanied in establishing the business with our start-up team.

Transport System Bögl: new local public passenger transport system a big success in China
The Max Bögl group of companies has developed a new local public passenger transport system. The system called “Transport System Bögl” (TSB) uses magnetic levitation, or “maglev” technology and provides a clean and cost-efficient means of transport for better mobility in inner city areas. The technology is becoming increasingly popular also in other countries: Max Bögl’s most recent export order was the sale of its TSB to China.
