GKD USA in Cambridge, Maryland, covers all business areas with a high degree of solutions expertise. The USA has been one of our biggest markets for over 30 years. Many of our product innovations for applications in medical technology, foodstuffs processing, aerospace or the chemical industry started life here.

With Neverleak filter leaves, GKD industrial mesh sets new standards in breweries or in the industrial production of cooking oil in the USA. Filter media for hot gas filtration or oil production are further key applications for this business unit. Alongside the American woodworking, nonwovens, chemical and foodstuffs industries, GKD process belts also serves mining with innovative process belt technology. For projects in North America, GKD metal fabrics offers the entire spectrum of modern services to architects from a single source: full planning with statics and work drawings, weaving – including product types developed in-house –, pre-assembly, project management and installation.

GKD LATAM is a manufacturing subsidiary that focuses on the targeted expansion of our market presence across Latin America. After over 25 years of active sales activity in Chile, we opened a state-of-the-art production site for our three business units in Santiago de Chile in 2012. This enables us to offer our loyal customers from the fields of architecture, process belt technology and filter media new prospects for cooperation.

We see great potential for industrial mesh in the local edible oil production sector as well as in the chemical industry. The leading role the process belts business unit currently enjoys in Chile can be further strengthened by producing locally. The main fields of application for our process belts here are sludge dewatering, woodworking, fruit juice production, the copper industry and mining. With the development and production of both new and established mesh types, architectural mesh takes advantage of the numerous opportunities such as stadium construction, modern building solar control and facade cladding. The relocation of our architectural spiral mesh production from Spain to Chile provides great impetus here.

GKD CHINA has already undergone some eventful developments. Back in 2000 we established ourselves with a sales branch in China in order to tap the potential of this important growth market. In 2004 we expanded this subsidiary to become a production location. The local added value in our product solutions increased continuously and led us to relocate our manufacturing facilities as a whole to considerably larger production premises in Qufu in the province of Shandong in 2017.

GKD industrial meshes are processed in China as sophisticated filter media and systems for the automotive, synthetics, polymer, and food industries, environmental technology, and the aerospace sector. GKD process belts are produced locally for the Chinese fruit juice industry. With the production of selected products and comprehensive service from maintenance to repair and finishing, we provide our customers in China with a reliable basis and local market access to our cutting-edge technology from Germany. Thanks to the spectacular opera building of the National Grand Theater in Beijing and the stands of the Formula 1 race track in Shanghai, which were completed at the same time, GKD architectural metal fabrics became known to a broad audience in China. Since then, innumerable architectural projects both large and small have been realized and transparent MEDIAMESH^® media façades installed.
