INTRODUCTION

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 produc-

tion shop after landing a contract with Western Electric Company
and, subsequently, forming 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 Philadelphia 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.
