Every year about 400 to 500 reports are prepared by the two offices in Hamburg and Nuremberg dealing with locations in more and more countries - according to the needs of our clients. As GfK AG is present in actually more than 50 countries around the world at present, so the business there is not a new one for us but practically a ‘home’ market.
