When it comes to large metal fabrication, you need more than just someone to cut and weld. You need a partner who can handle the entire process, start to finish. You shouldn’t have to worry about any part of it falling through the cracks. At Gilchrist, we’ve been working side-by-side with customers for decades, helping them get from the drawing table to delivery with ease.
Helping You Get It Right from the Start
Every successful project starts with a plan, and at GMFCO, we believe in helping customers from the beginning. Whether you’ve got a fully fleshed-out design or just a rough concept, our in-house design and engineering support team can help turn your ideas into something workable.
We know how critical it is to make sure the design not only meets your specs but is also practical to manufacture. The last thing anyone wants is to get halfway through a project only to realize something doesn’t line up. By getting involved early, we can help catch any potential issues, saving time, money, and a whole lot of headaches later.
Keeping Safety Front and Center
One of the things we take seriously—both for our team and our customers—is safety. But for us, safety isn’t just a set of rules we follow on the shop floor. It’s a mindset we bring to everything we do. We’ve built a culture where safety and quality go hand-in-hand, and that benefits everyone, whether you’re working on the project or receiving the final product.
Our crew is our biggest asset, and we’re proud of the team we’ve built here. They’re highly skilled, dedicated, and constantly improving their craft. We invest in training and career development because we believe that when our people grow, so does the quality of our work. And in the end, that means better results for our customers.
Big Tools for Big Jobs
We’re accustomed to big fabricating jobs, and we’ve got the equipment for it. With a fleet of modern machinery that’s designed to handle heavy-duty projects, we can take on large and complex fabrications that many shops simply can’t or would rather avoid. Whether you’re working with steel, aluminum, bronze, or more advanced materials, we’ve got the tools and the know-how to get it done right.
Our approach to materials handling is precise because we understand that even small mistakes can turn into big problems down the line. By combining top-of-the-line crane and moving equipment with our team’s expertise, we make sure your materials are treated with the care and precision they need, no matter how heavy, large or complex the job.
Getting Your Project Where It Needs to Go
Once the job is done, it doesn’t just stop there. We’ve learned over the years that getting your finished product safely packaged and shipped is just as important as making it right in the first place. We’ve put together a logistics team that knows how to handle large metal fabrications, ensuring your products are packaged securely and shipped to their final destination without logistical problems.
Whether you need something delivered across the state or overseas, we’ll work with you to figure out the best solution to get your product where it needs to go, safely and on time. We’ve got a lot of experience in handling transportation challenges, and we’re always ready to make sure your order arrives in factory-fresh condition.
In It for the Long Haul
We believe in long-term relationships. We see ourselves as more than just a vendor. We’re instead your partner in getting the job done right. That means we’re here for you every step of the way, offering proactive support from early design discussions to final delivery.
Our customers keep coming back because they know we’re not just focused on one-off projects. We’re in it for the long haul, and we take pride in knowing that we can help solve challenges and find better ways to get things done together.
Building a Team for the Future
A big part of why we’re able to do what we do is the talented team behind it all. We’re always looking for folks who want to build their careers in this industry and contribute to something bigger. If you’re someone who’s passionate about making things happen and solving real-world problems, we’d love to have you on board.
We take care of our people, offering opportunities to learn and grow, because we know that our success depends on the strength of our team. It’s all about working together and pushing the boundaries of what we can do for our customers.
