From Laboratory to Life
From Laboratory to Life

Carl Greenblatt founded G & W Laboratories, Inc. ninety years ago upon his return from military service as a pharmacist with US forces in World War I. While establishing a reputation as an innovative specialist in suppository dosage forms, Carl guided G & W Laboratories with an uncompromising commitment to product integrity and customer service. In 1945, Carl's son, Burton, also a registered pharmacist, returned from military service in World War II and joined the small but growing company. During the post-war years, G & W expanded its product line beyond suppositories, into creams, ointments, gels and liquids. G & W moved to larger state-of-the-art laboratory and production facilities, which now exceed 180,000 square feet in South Plainfield, New Jersey. Continuing the high ethical standards and customer focus established by Carl, the senior officers now include Burton, who now serves as Chairman; Burton’s son, Ronald, who joined the company in 1978 and now serves as Chief Executive Officer; Kurt Orlofski, who joined G & W as President and Chief Operating Officer in 2009; Burton’s son-in-law, Joel Zaklin, who joined the company in 1990 and now serves as Vice President, Sales & Marketing; and Ronald’s son, Aaron, who joined the company in 2009 after earning his Pharm.D.
