When customers from the marine propulsion industry approached Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company with a seemingly impossible metal bending project, they didn’t know quite what to expect. They were pleasantly surprised when Jack Gilchrist, President of Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company, was eager to take on the difficult metal bending task, explaining that their New Hampshire metal fabricating company had “built a reputation undertaking the most challenging metal bending projects”– projects, Gilchrist explains, many fabricating companies wouldn’t even consider or be capable of, given the limitations of their equipment.

Over the last 30 years, Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company’s metal bending services have served over 30 markets from marine, architecture, and communications industries to metal bending for artistic endeavors—helping customers create everything from propellers, requiring the highest level of precision, to sculptures, needing a level of expertise and attention to detail, Gilchrist explains, “you can’t find everywhere.”

Gilchrist says, “Our press brake capacity of 750 tons and 20 feet gives us a lot of flexibility” combine that with GMFCO’s machining and fabricating abilities and any limitations concerning metal bending quickly seem to fade away. Gilchrist also explains that GMFCO sets itself apart with a keen interest in understanding exactly what a customer’s needs are. As he explains, a metal bending project done by the right company will yield a customer whatever they need. On the other hand, in the wrong hands a metal bending project can also become “a huge waste of money.” Gilchrist explains his company has done everything possible to always provide the former as opposed to the latter—not only to protect the customer’s investment but to provide metal bending that will ensure products are safer and more reliable.

Coming out of one of the nations most debilitating recessions, Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company has poised itself to build on the success that allowed it to withstand such a challenging economic climate. The company’s president, Jack Gilchrist, has announced an initiative to offer leaner and more precise aluminum fabricating for customers in every industry.

Explaining customers’ increased concern with their budget, Gilchrist says, “More than ever, customers need efficient and precise aluminum fabricating.” Gilchrist continues, “It’s our goal to understand what customers need and want before anything else, so we can meet and potentially exceed those needs, on time and under budget.”

Gilchrist explains that customers needing aluminum metal fabrications from a wide variety of industries can expect not only efficiency and precision, but reduced lead times and rapid deliveries — regardless of project scope. He says, “The reduced lead time is key with the pressures of today, as we are all doing more work with less people. To the customer, that can mean that it takes longer to get information to the supplier but they do not have more time to get the product to their customer.”

Gilchrist says, by combining greater cost efficiency, shorter lead times, and the ability to “Produce larger and more complex aluminum fabrications than others can handle,” GMFCO hopes to come out of a tough economy as a better company and a better source for aluminum fabricating.

By delivering greater efficiency and precision in every aspect of the aluminum fabricating process, Gilchrist has positioned Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company to provide better and leaner aluminum metal fabricating services, aimed at establishing longstanding relationships with a newly recession hardened customer base.

With 5 axis precision milling centers, the ability to machine large aluminum components, and experienced MIG and TIG welders, Gilchrist says, “We’re more prepared than ever to provide better aluminum fabricating.”

Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company, a provider of CNC metal fabrication and contract assembly located in New Hampshire, has recently announced the ability to provide a higher level of precision and efficiency for customers and industries across the country.

With the capability to provide large and small metal fabrications ranging from small parts for use in machines, to large structures such as lighthouse frames — Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company’s president, Jack Gilchrist, says, “We can deliver efficiency and precision in just about any size.”

Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Company (GMFCO) has worked with businesses from many industries as well as artists needing custom metal fabricating, bending, and forming. Gilchrist explains, regardless of industry “We can handle small and large volumes. With 70,000 square feet to work with and frequently updated CNC machining equipment, there’s not much we can’t do.”

As a provider of CNC metal fabrication services, large metal fabrications, machine frames, metal bending, metal forming, and stainless steel fabrications, Gilchrist explains that the metal fabricators at GMFCO are not strangers to a challenge. Regardless of the project size or scope, Gilchrist says, “We’re focused on making sure we can do things better, faster, and more reliably.”
