**A little bit about our company**

Glueckler Metal Inc., first established through trial and error in the family-owned garage back in 1985, is a family-owned operation that has evolved over the past 30+ years to become a world-class precision machining, high volume, SRC (Safety Related Components) parts supplier within the automotive and heavy transportation industries. Currently employing around 100 team members, much of our staff have become like family, many having served 20 or even 30 years with the company. The strength of our team to continuously overcome the challenges of our ever-changing industry forms the backbone of our organization. Over the years, GMI has acquired over 30 multi-spindle, multi-axis CNC Machining centers while continuously working towards automating processes to eliminate as many manual requirements from our staff base as possible.

With 4 set operational shifts, plus our office and administrative shifts, opportunities within various departments may become available. In 2021 especially, GMI has adopted the concept of establishing various departmental “teams” across the organization, consisting of members within different levels of the organization to meet regularly to discuss ongoing initiatives within each department. We feel the benefits of having established this team approach across the organization allow for increased communication, and for the importance behind each department and position to be considered when reaching company decisions.
