GSM Industrial’s heritage dates back to 1946, when Fred Gooding decided to pursue his dream of starting a roofing company. Bill Simpson soon joined the business venture. Fritz Mackes, a sheet metal mechanic, later joined the duo and the Gooding, Simpson & Mackes roofing company was born.  Jim Towers of GSM Industrial Jim Towers  The company established a small sheet metal division that was managed by Fritz until his passing in 1974. Jim Towers became head of the division, which steadily grew over the years. In 1983, GSM Industrial became its own entity and continued to expand into non-roofing related custom metal fabrication.  Over three distinguished decades, GSM Industrial has emerged as the choice contractor for millwright industrial services, custom metal fabrication and machining. Our commitment to excellence, safety and service is as strong today as it was on day one.
