Over the years manufacturing has changed – it’s not only about technology, processes or skills – it’s about support beyond just demarcation of manufacturing zones.

 Guindy Machine Tools (GMT) was founded in 1959; independent India was 12-year old then. The new national leaders infused enthusiasm into the young and enterprising to use technology and know-how from their own country and establish business to open up the economy. GMT’s founder P Venkat Raman inspired by the new government industrial policy was determined to fulfil his childhood ambition to “to own machines and craft artefacts”. The demand arose for products like lathes and workholding devices for lathes such as chucks. GMT zeroed in on chucks, fully aware that every lathe used would need a good quality chuck. Today, GMT has emerged as one of the leading manufacturers of workholding devices and metrology equipment in India. It manufactures a range of manual chucks, power chucks and special chucks. GMT makes custom built chucking system for special applications.
