GMT Robotics history and timeline

2010

In 2010, Ulrich Deichmann left Pedax, a rebar manufacturer he had helped build since the 1980s. Ulrich stayed in the industry he had helped shape by buying and selling second-hand rebar equipment through a company he founded called “German Machine Trade” (GMT).

Later renamed “Global Machine Trade”, GMT has become the world’s leading reseller of refurbished rebar equipment.

2015

In 2015, Thomas Dall-Hansen joined Ulrich at GMT. After travelling the world and learning about the global rebar industry, he realized that the industry was begging for innovation to unlock its potential.

Automation is the innovation the industry needs, not in rebar steel processing but in the dangerous and inefficient handling and assembly of rebar.

2018

In 2018, Thomas and Ulrich started to investigate rebar and other markets and looked outside the industry for solutions which could be adopted, modified and implemented into the rebar industry.

With input and advice from clients, suppliers, software developers, robot manufacturers and others, the 4 core products were born: “WeldMate”, “PickMate”, “Micro ARCAS” and “Dwall ARCAS”.
