GSM has the internal and external resources to be a secure, strategic link in your supply chain.

  • Prototyping support
  • Secondary operations sourcing
  • Service part fabrication
  • Tool & die storage and maintenance

As your older products mature and new products are developed, GSM will be your partner at every stage of the life-cycle.

Supply Chain Security

Strategic relationships with our suppliers afford GSM superior responsiveness and reliability in meeting your need for a secure supply chain.

  • Supplier auditing and certification
  • Failover resources for all core fabrication processes
  • Multiple facilities with duplicate fabrication processes
  • Adaptive scheduling

GSM maintains a priority position with its suppliers as a direct result of nearly a century of treating our strategic partners with respect and keeping our financial commitments.

“Our engineering team looks for solutions that eliminate wasted material, preempt fabrication complexity and enable parts to be produced consistently to our customers’ standards. Eliminating cost isn’t our only goal. We’re looking to bring true value at every level of part production. All aspects of our business and production processes are integrated–and constantly improving.”
