Customer Reviews
Michael Davenport
I’ve worked in aerospace machining for 22 years, and the G&L high-precision automated machine tools have consistently set the standard on our production floor. The rigidity of the machines, combined with their CNC reliability, means we can run long aluminum and titanium jobs without worrying about drift or thermal inconsistencies. Their service team has also been exceptional—quick responses, clear troubleshooting steps, and genuine understanding of complex aerospace tolerances.
Sandra Ruiz
Our automotive components plant integrated Giddings & Lewis automated assembly systems three years ago, and the transformation has been incredible. Downtime dropped by at least 40%, and the ergonomic improvements alone made a noticeable difference for our operators. The system’s modularity allowed us to scale gradually, and its diagnostics tools make it easy for even junior technicians to identify issues before they escalate.
Leonard Whitmore
As someone managing electronics manufacturing for two decades, I appreciate tools that stay accurate over long cycles, and G&L’s flexible inspection systems have exceeded expectations. Their measurement repeatability has helped us cut rework dramatically, especially for small precision components. The programmable interface is intuitive, and our transition from older equipment was smoother than expected thanks to their thorough onboarding support.
