Happy Birthday GMDE

25 years of experience

Yes, today December 13 GMDE turns 25!

Many years, many adventures, many customers, many projects closed.
And who knows GMDE knows how much has changed in these 25 years.
Created to meet the assistance needs of the editors who used the Crosfield systems, it has expanded over the years to cover the needs of print centers and ultimately the marketing departments of companies.

Thanks to Gilberto, Marino, Dario and Enio, here are the important dates of the GMDE history.
