Our Company

Mr. James Gumro, former president of 30 years for Advanced Pool Distribution, founded Gumro and Associates (G&A) in 1986.  The driving concept behind the new company was to provide a new approach to pool distribution functionality by incorporating affordable, cutting-edge technology.  This technology would allow for customized freight tracking, freight visibility and simplistic data collection.  This evolution in logistic solutions, coined ePAD (electronic Pool and Distribution), was drafted in 2001.  The final product was released in 2003. Since it's conception and launch, ePAD has allowed our customers to stay competitive in today's vast and technologically driven market.

The Gumro  & Associates headquarters' is located in Rochester Hills, Michigan.  However, in order to provide our customers with unparalleled service, we have numerous national & international based pools, currently utilizing the ePAD application. This allows for efficiency and continuity beyond measure.
