Surtech Industries Company History

Click here for a larger imageA need existed in 1982 for a local source of sub-contracted supply of polishing and buffing services. Two brothers, Dave and John Gotwald, pooled their entrepreneurial spirit and talents to satisfy that customer need. Working from a garage in East York, the dream of entering into the manufacturing world became a reality. Their dream has evolved into a philosophy that believes in delivering a product or service to its customers that was of the highest quality. Surtech is in business to deliver quality solutions to its customers that demonstrate ingenuity, versatility and flexibility in solving problems.

Four buildings that total 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space replaced the 1000 square foot garage. The operation has grown into eight business units providing a wide range of finishing solutions for its customers. This entrepreneurial spirit has continued to grow and a new 66,000 square foot maunufacturing facility was purchased in 2002. The business now resides at 915 Borom Road, York, PA.
