German Machine Tools of America (GMTA, Ann Arbor, MI) represents various top-quality German metalworking machine builders, including Profilator, Pittler, Praewema and WMZ.
These machines are sold to the North American market by GMTA primarily for gear and spline production, as well as other power transmission applications. The company’s target markets include automotive, off-highway, OCTG and other heavy equipment manufacturing. Machines are provided for gear honing, gear grinding, the patented Scudding® process for gearmaking, polygon milling, turning, gear tooth pointing and multi-task machining operations.
In the news . . . effective immediately for North America, GMTA now represents two additional lines of quality German machines. Agreements have been finalized for GMTA to handle the Rosink line of parts washers plus the Arnold line of laser welding machines.
According to Scott Knoy, the vice president at GMTA, “These are natural complements to our existing lines and will strengthen our value proposition in current and also new market segments, going forward.” A Rosink parts washer will be on display in the GMTA booth during the upcoming IMTS in Chicago.
GMTA proudly announces the sale of multiple Profilator Scudding® machines to General Motors for gear production. It is estimated this purchase saved GM over $4 million in capital expenditures, compared with acquiring the multiple machines that would have been necessary to achieve the same production levels.
The company also announces the sale of Profilator Scudding® and gear pointing machines to Magna Mexico, plus machines to Magna Canada for polygon generation.
GMTA has sold nine Praewema honing machines to Ford.
Last but not least, by any means, GMTA proudly announces Claudia Hambleton, the corporate treasurer and administrative manager, received her MBA from Eastern Michigan University (EMU) on April 27, 2014.
Claudia has been a GMTA associate since the company opened its doors in January, 1991. As Claudia notes, “I am very grateful to GMTA for supporting my efforts to acquire an MBA. I look forward to using my new skills to further enhance the business at our company. It was also very rewarding to network with the business school students and staff at EMU, where GMTA now has a working relationship with their German business development track.”
GMTA routinely hosts a program in German for students in the EMU business school who plan to work for or with German companies as a career path.
