GMTA: German Machine Tools of America

About GMTA

German Machine Tools of America (GMTA) was founded in 1991 as the U.S. subsidiary of Profilator GmbH in Wuppertal, Germany, and is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The company represents various lines of German machine tools and metal fabricating equipment, with over 400 machines installed across North America — making it a significant presence in precision workpiece and specialty markets such as gear manufacturing, where accuracy is critical regardless of the operation or end product.

Every machine GMTA sells is backed by its service and application engineering departments, supporting major American markets that range from automotive to iron/steel, gear manufacturing to railroad, and heavy equipment to medical. The company’s offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Querétaro, Mexico, support this equipment across North America.

In 2012, the company changed its name from American Wera to German Machine Tools of America (GMTA), a shift designed to better reflect the full range of high-quality, German-built machine tools it represents.
