GUHDO USA Inc. (dba GDP Tooling) is proudly celebrating a 37th year milestone serving North American industries with a state-of-the-art industrial cutting tools and accessories product program.
In 1986 the company was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan as a partnership between the principals of GUHDO Werk GmbH of Wermelskirchen, Germany and Karin Deutschler, who is GDP Tooling’s CEO today. In the ensuing decades, the company built a stellar reputation for high quality, reasonably priced tooling solutions. This, coupled with an exemplary customer service track record, is the company’s hallmark.
In 1997 the company headquarters was moved from Michigan to the metropolitan Atlanta, GA area. This relocation coincided with the acquisition of a new building and the establishment of a service/repair and production facility.
In 2005, GUHDO Germany’s principal sold its stake in the US company to Deutschler. The same year, GUHDO, Germany was acquired by DIMAR Cutting Tools, (Israel) following the German company’s reorganization. GDP Tooling retains the North American exclusive licensing rights of the GUHDO brand and continues to import high-quality precision industrial saw blades manufactured at the GUHDO factory in Wermelskirchen, Germany.
In 2015 the company expanded its product offering and re-branded to GDP Tooling. In cooperation with strategic European manufacturing partners including GUHDO GmbH, the company primarily serves the wood, composite and plastics industries. GDP Tooling also supplies specialty cutting tools for PTFE skiving, paper mills and printed circuit board industries. The company’s extensive precision cutting tool program includes tooling for planers, moulders, panel saws, tenoners, boring machines, routers, CNC machining centers, edge banders and many more.
To provide highest quality and best performing tooling solutions at the lowest cost per linear foot machined.
The GDP team is comprised of experienced, knowledgable, dedicated, ingenious and highly responsive individuals who are experts in cutting tool applications. They strive to give each customer individual attention to find solutions to tooling challenges. The team’s philosophy is quite simple: Earn the customer’s business and loyalty by showing them how to realize cost savings. That, and improving tool performance and finish in manufacturing processes is the team’s objective.
