GST – Grinding technology

Passion, dedication and hard work 1992 GST is founded by former

employees of Elb-Heid-MSO (manufacturer of grinding machinery since 1979)

2011 The company expands its headquarters – the number of staff has increased to 50 employees

2016 The current workforce counts 79 employees and includes 7 trainees

2017 The production area and the office building are doubled in size
