Company Overview and Heritage
GSP - High Tech Saws, s.r.o., based in Zborovice, Czech Republic, is a European manufacturer of high-quality cutting tools with a rich history dating back to 1948. Initially established as a branch of Pilana, the company evolved through various iterations, including Schuler Pilana, before becoming GSP - High Tech Saws. This long-standing tradition has cultivated deep expertise in precision manufacturing. The company has strategically shifted its focus from being a mass supplier of standard tools to providing specialized, custom-made saw blades and industrial knives, even in small quantities, aligning with specific market and customer needs. GSP prides itself on being the sole producer of HSS metal cutting sawblades in the Czech Republic, exporting 85% of its turnover globally.

GSP offers a comprehensive range of cutting tools designed for diverse industrial applications. The core product lines include HSS (High-Speed Steel) saw blades such as slitting saws, cold cut-off saws, pipe cutting saws, jewelry saws, screw slotting saws, and segmental and friction saw blades. These are available in diameters up to 720 mm for HSS and up to 2500 mm for hot and friction saw blades.
