Company History In 1995, because of the growing demand for food service equipment in the state of Michigan, Great Lakes Stainless, Inc. was founded. The owners of Grand Traverse Refrigeration, Inc. saw a need and realized that the manufacture of food equipment was a good fit with the heating, cooling and commercial refrigeration business that they had been operating since 1976. Thus, with one employee and a Milwaukee Sawzall, Great Lakes Stainless opened its doors; but that was just the beginning. That one employee is now the General Manager overseeing 34 well-trained, experienced works and the Sawzall is mostly retired. A short nine years and several additions later, the original facility could no longer house those employees, a Komatsu Rasor cutting system, press brakes, power shears, a 30-ton strippet punch and an AutoCAD drafting staff. Therefore, in order to keep up with the steady increase in sales volume, GLS made the transition to their new 50,000 square foot home in the fall of 2003. This facility affords GLS the space required for on site storage, additional manufacturing equipment, increased productivity and has expanded the Company's capabilities. Company Goals The quality of our products and services has established our reputation as a leading custom manufacturer. From the very beginning one of our most important goals was not only to create a superior product, but also to personalize the manufacturing process. We strive to treat each customer, as we would like to be treated, with courtesy and respect. Our claim to fame has become our 'always on time' delivery. If we say we will, we do. Along with the goal of pleasing customers, the second focus of our company is to create a work environment that maximizes the potential of each employee. Our employees are encouraged to share ideas and information, not only with each other, but also with the management. As a result, our craftspeople take great personal pride in turning out only the finest quality of custom work possible. |
