Remembering a colleague & friend

July 11, 2020
Today marks 9 years since our colleague and friend, Andrew (Andy) Glowa passed away in his hometown of Shelton, CT. He was an employee in technical sales for our company for over 10 years, taking a short break to go and work for Biesse Machinery selling CNC equipment. The long days and constant travel put too much stress on his family and so he rejoined our team just a few years before his passing.

Andrew (Andy) Glowa
(1960-2011)

In January 2011 he was diagnosed with incurable cancer so he moved back to Connecticut to be near his family in his final months. Andy was a valued team member and his dedication to helping customers get what they needed, even when it meant sending them over to a competitor, was well known and very much appreciated. Nine years later, customers still fondly remember our team mate Andy, as we do every single day. He also had a meticulous filing system which allowed to us retrieve old drawings or quotes he had given to customers instantly! Andy, you will remain in our hearts and memories for as long as we live!

New Website Launch!

Welcome to our new site! This site is launched while simultaneously semi-retiring our long-time domain, www.guhdo.com. As part of our rebranding to GDP Tooling, (German Designed Precision), we want to better reflect the diverse origin of our product program. Since our founding, we have partnered with reliable, quality factories such as JSO, Atemag and others in Germany and Europe. This has allowed us to complement and complete our tooling program to bring our customers only the very best of German Designed Precision cutting tools and accessories. Of course, we continue to source our saw blade selection from GUHDO GmbH, Germany. We are excited with our new site launch and hope you will come back again!
