As a result, ceramic grind\u00ading balls of the high\u00adest qual\u00adity were already devel\u00adoped over 25 years ago. The parent company, Magot\u00adteaux S.A., bene\u00adfited from these tech\u00adni\u00adcal devel\u00adop\u00adments and founded the grind\u00ading ball plant Megac\u00ade\u00adram S.A. in Belgium. Mr Horst M\u00fcller was entrusted with the setting up and devel\u00adop\u00adment of the plant as its tech\u00adni\u00adcal manager.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later, the produc\u00adtion plant in D\u00fcssel\u00addorf would be priva\u00adtised. Horst M\u00fcller took over the Belgian branch and founded GTS (Giess-Tech\u00adnis\u00adche-Sonderk\u00aderamik GmbH &amp; Co. KG) in 1991. For another ten years, his path repeat\u00adedly led him back to the parent company. As a consul\u00adtant, he placed his now invalu\u00adable knowl\u00adedge at the disposal of the Magot\u00adteaux Group. Mean\u00adwhile, he fostered the expan\u00adsion and tech\u00adni\u00adcal devel\u00adop\u00adment of GTS.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the success\u00adful use of GTS prod\u00aducts led to an expan\u00adsion of the company. This posi\u00adtive devel\u00adop\u00adment ensured that GTS became a well-estab\u00adlished manu\u00adfac\u00adturer in the areas of preci\u00adsion cast\u00ading, jewellery cast\u00ading, the labo\u00adra\u00adtory and medical tech\u00adnol\u00adogy sectors, and even a market leader in certain fields.<\/p>\n<p>Owing to the steady growth of GTS, Horst M\u00fcller appointed his son Andreas M\u00fcller to the exec\u00adu\u00adtive board in 2004. He brought deci\u00adsive new ideas and momen\u00adtum to the company, enabling GTS to make a further leap forward in its devel\u00adop\u00adment. Both gener\u00ada\u00adtions jointly contribute knowl\u00adedge, skills and passion\u00adate enthu\u00adsi\u00adasm for ceram\u00adics.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, GTS took over the ceramic foundry of Megac\u00ade\u00adram S.A. and relo\u00adcated its produc\u00adtion from Belgium to D\u00fcssel\u00addorf. The result was a further strength\u00aden\u00ading of GTS on the inter\u00adna\u00adtional market, so that its partic\u00adi\u00adpa\u00adtion in research and devel\u00adop\u00adment projects also increased.
