    Your product and customer service were excellent during the mold polish class. I took full advantage of everything I learned and have already begun using some of the techniques. Thank you Gesswein!

    With what I have learned in this class, combined with the use of your micro welder, I can now confidently repair and polish most if not all of our high polish molds and tooling! Effectively eliminating sending out more than 90% of the work we used to outsource.

    Meet the Instructors

    With a combined 90 years of experience, our instructors are masters of the art of mold polishing. They specialize in achieving supreme finishes and have trained over 700 working professionals in our classes alone.

    Donald Gonzalez

    Donald Gonzalez has over 40 years of experience in the mold polishing field. He started his apprenticeship in 1979 at Caco Pacific and moved to Kipp Group Medical Products where he worked for 11 years. He then went on to start his own mold polishing business, DG Mold Polishing, which he currently runs today with his family. Donald loves working with people and teaching them new techniques of the trade. One thing he loves about our ultrasonic polishing machines is how easy they are to use especially for polishing tight areas such as ribs, sidewalls and small details. Donald believes that there will always be a need for polishers in the mold and die industry.
