GAM Expands U.S. Manufacturing and Introduces a 1-Week Quick Delivery Program for Gearboxes and Couplings
POSTED 09/02/2016
Mount Prospect, IL – GAM Enterprises, a U.S. owned and operated company announces the expansion of their U.S. manufacturing operations and introduces a 1-week quick delivery program for gearboxes and couplings.
With a goal aimed to improve delivery and overall customer satisfaction, GAM established full U.S. manufacturing at its headquarters in Mount Prospect, Illinois. GAM transformed operationally from light production to full manufacturing and assembly after investing several million dollars in infrastructure including new state-of-the-art machine tools and supporting systems. To ensure proper execution, GAM hired an experienced team of manufacturing and engineering professionals and partnered with several consultants to apply lean manufacturing and quality principles throughout the organization. This dramatic transformation has allowed GAM to reduce lead-times, increase capacity and flexibility. GAM has the ability to respond quicker to customer needs for both standard and customized products now and into the future.
“By developing these lean and flexible manufacturing systems in-house, not only can we produce standard products with industry competitive lead-times,” said Craig Van den Avont, President of GAM, “but we have further strengthened our position as the market leader for flexibility and customization, which allows us to provide greater value to customers”.
