General Machine Products (KT), LLC
Founded by engineer George M. Pfundt in 1936, GMP started opera-
tions 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,
forming a close relationship with Bell Telephone
Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ, which enabled it to
manufacture prototypes of products for experi-
mental use within the Bell System.
GMP's 100,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in
Trevose is equipped with a full complement of
technologically advanced machine tools manned
by a well-trained team of craftspeople. Our own
engineering staff conduct research & development of GMP's products using computer aid-
ed design, a prototype fabrication shop and an on-site testing facility.
In 2004, CBS Products joined forces with GMP to further enhance the global reach and breadth of
our outside plant equipment capabilities. As of June 2017 the business of GMP Tools and CBS
Products were acquired by Klein Tools of the USA. Renamed GMP Products (KT), LLC, we contin-
ue to be the same engineering talent and innovative solution providers.
GMP continues to make investments in new product R&D, state-of the-art manufacturing,
quality assurance, distribution and inventory control techniques, and physical plant, in or-
der to maintain its manufacturing leadership position and its continuing ability to anticipate
and meet the changing needs of
work crews in the field who rely on
the ruggedness, practicality and
safety of GMP equipment. As our
quality policy statement affirms:
"GMP supplies defect-free products
and service, on time, which meet
its customers' expectations."
