We manufacture parts and products for companies that do not have in-house manufacturing capabilities or demand exceeds their inhouse capacity. We sell to OEM manufacturers, defense firms, ship builders, construction, bridge and road contractors, and industrial engineering firms. "We make great stuff for America!" We're always looking to recruit and train nice people who demonstrate ingenuity and like to make things. We currently have several openings that include press brake operator (bending and rolling steel, aluminum & other metals), machinists, welders, fabricators, CNC programmers/operators, (SolidWorks is a plus).

We support STEM programs and vocational training in area schools. We sponsor FIRST Robotics high school teams that have competed nationally. We have recently sponsored college credit courses such as blueprint reading and tools of metrology to help area students in financial need. We regularly give to local charities as we evaluate their needs and can devote our resources. We're always working to improve energy efficiency. We have retrofitted our facilities and machines with high efficiency lighting and advanced power controls. RECYCLING is a huge part of our work. We have begun the process of putting enough solar panels on our roof tops to power the entire company. We strive to reduce material waste, recycling all scrap from metals, paper, cans and bottles. This significantly reduces mining and industrial processing of the earth's raw materials. "Here's my advice to anyone looking into a manufacturing career: Keep a very open mind and study different perspectives of the work from different angles. Listen and learn from people willing to help because everyone does things differently and one person's way might work better for you than someone else's. Neither is right nor wrong, as long as it gets the job done. Expect some challenging days but never give up, just do your best for the day. If manufacturing was easy, it would become boring like most easy jobs! The coolest part is the sense of accomplishment when you see the completed product and know you did it. You created something valuable out of raw metal and shop drawings. It might be an antenna, a flagpole or even a mini-golf course, and you made it!" www.gmfco.com Address: 18 Park Ave., Hudson, NH 03051 P: 603-889-2600 Managing Director: Jack Gilchrist, President Full-time employees: 40 Year founded: 1975 Additional Company Locations: 12 & 18 Park Ave, Hudson, NH Gilchrist Metal Fabricating Co., Inc.
