We at Gerding Enterprises want to wish everyone a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year.
We would like to take a moment to proudly announce our 65th year in business in the year 2025. This is truly a real American success story. From coming out of the depression and taking on the huge challenge of starting their own business in 1960.
Charlie found a small spinning lathe in a junk yard; it had no transmission, so he found an old Harley Davidson transmission and adapted it. He put that in the basement of his home in Pagedale and Gerding Enterprises was born. We still run that lathe to this day.
Throughout the years we have had parts on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo and also space shuttle programs. We have many parts on numerous fighters, bombers, missiles and cargo jets throughout the decades. But we have also gotten into thousands of other projects and programs. We’ve done experimental work for Los Alamos, New Mexico; also made an 8,000 pound lottery machine for the government of Puerto Rico in 1982 that still runs today.
So with that being said we want to take a moment to thank all of our thousands of customers, our suppliers and employees, past and present that helped make us 65 years strong. We are very proud of our Aerospace heritage, American craftsmanship and quality for 65 years.
