In 2018, GML completed its transformation from the devastation of the 2015 fire to a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that represented everything the company stood for: technical excellence, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility.
Purpose-Designed Excellence
The new factory wasn't just a replacement for what had been lost - it was a complete rethinking of how GML's operations should work. Every aspect of the facility was designed with specific operational requirements in mind, from workflow optimization to material handling efficiency.
Sustainability by Design
Environmental responsibility was built into every aspect of the new facility. Ground source heating provides efficient climate control year-round. An extensive array of solar photovoltaic panels generates clean energy, reducing both carbon footprint and operating costs. Rainwater harvesting systems reduce water consumption and environmental impact.
Integrated Operations
The inclusion of an integral warehouse represented a significant operational improvement. By bringing storage and distribution into the same facility as manufacturing, GML could offer faster response times, better inventory management, and more efficient logistics - all advantages that directly benefited customers.
A Statement of Intent
The new factory wasn't just about production capacity - it was a statement about GML's commitment to long-term sustainability, both environmental and commercial. It demonstrated that a family business could combine traditional values of quality and service with cutting-edge approaches to manufacturing and environmental stewardship.
