Company Heritage
Founded by industry veteran Larry D’Souza, Drywall Master has a rich history in the automatic taping and finishing industry. Our company, along with Larry and his partners, played a pioneering role by introducing one of the first comprehensive sets of automatic taping tools. From a small enterprise, we expanded globally between 1980 and 1987, with dealers across four continents representing the majority of the industrialized world. Our key design engineer, Robert "Johnny" Payne, brings extensive expertise gained from working with industry legends Stan and Bob Ames at Ames Taping Tools, contributing to the development of the earliest Taping Tools.
Years of meticulous research and rigorous field testing by our design engineers and technical staff have resulted in tools that consistently receive overwhelmingly positive feedback. Rest assured, our tools are meticulously crafted to endure, with an average lifespan of 10 years or more when properly maintained.
