General Sheet Metal Works, Inc. is a family business established in 1916. It was a manufacturing business producing its own "Puttyless Skylights" among other things. Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and many other metals in a variety of gauges were used to make custom jobs for clients of the day. One such client would be The United States Government during World War I.Just prior to World War II, GSMW made the switch to a heavy manufacturer. This switch made a larger multitude of projects possible and kept GSMW current with demand and technology of the time. Beginning in the 1980s, General Sheet Metal Works began to integrate electronic and computer technology into its processes. This first manifested as digital gauge accuracy and rudimentary programs working in tandem with machines. More recent upgrades include a computerized punch machine, a computerized plasma cutter and working with AutoCAD software.
