Passionate grinder Randy Gevers, founder of GRT-Tech, enjoyed years of success in motorcycle racing. However, his success story does not begin with him, but with his father, Antoon Gevers. Anton not only instilled in his son a passion for engines and technology, but also for metalworking, particularly grinding.

After years of working together as grinding machine operators, the Gevers family took the plunge in 2016 – with their father’s early retirement – ​​and went into business for themselves. The first machine Randy purchased was a conventional grinder, with others following quickly. Fittingly, the first customers came from the racing world. Their former employers soon began offering contract manufacturing orders as well.

Today, customers from the aerospace, medical technology, toolmaking, marine and packaging industries have total confidence in GRT-Tech. Antoon often manufactures special parts for motorcycles and vintage cars, which customers entrust to him based on his experience.

Randy quickly realised that machining complex workpieces, such as those used in tool and mould making or medical technology, quickly reached its limits with a conventional grinding machine. So, after moving to the current location in 2018, he purchased a powerful pre-owned Kellenberger Kel-Varia CNC universal cylindrical grinding machine.

Due to the positive experience, another Kellenberger grinding machine quickly found its way to GRT-Tech, a Kellenberger K100 universal internal and external cylindrical grinding machine.

“I’m fascinated by the machine’s high, reliable accuracy,” says Randy. “Added to that are my years of experience, which ultimately makes the difference for the customer.”
