Founded by engineer George M. Pfundt in 1936, GMP started operations in a
downtown Philadelphia building as a specialty machine shop doing work for
the local Bell Telephone company and for the electric utility company. GMP
expanded to a production shop after landing a contract with Western Electric
Company and, subsequently, form-
ing a close relationship with Bell
Telephone Laboratories in Murray
Hill, N.J., which enabled it to manufacture prototypes of
products for experimental use within the Bell System.
Having outgrown the original factory building, the company
built a 100,000 square foot plant in Trevose, PA (a Phila-
delphia suburb) and moved there in 1957. Today GMP is
recognized as a premier worldwide supplier of specialty
tools and equipment for the outside plant marketplace.
The company's products are known for their robust design
and durability to withstand many years of frequent use.
