One of the pillars at GSM Industrial is SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS with excellence in custom metal fabrication, plant maintenance, equipment installation, machining, and contract manufacturing. The roots of that pillar go back to our two owners’ commitments to SERVING OUR COUNTRY, and has been amplified over the years as other Veterans of our United States Armed Forces joined the GSM team. Serving has been ingrained in us at GSM and as a way of life in general.
As the nation honors all of our military veterans today, we at GSM want to raise up our men who have served and extend our heartfelt gratitude to the men and women actively serving here as well as abroad. We know the freedoms we appreciate are due in large part to the brave service and sacrifice of others. Thank you.
We are proud to recognize members of the GSM Industrial family who have served, and continue to serve our great country.
