Great Lakes Engineering, Inc.
GLE is a trend-setting manufacturer of surface mount stencils, precision laser cut parts and photo chemical machined parts for the defense, medical, electronics, aviation, energy, telecommunications, and computer industries.
Great Lakes Engineering has been in business over 23 years. In that time, we've gone through a number of changes. One thing that hasn't changed is a look to the future of thin foil manufacturing: new products, new processes, new markets, and new applications. You can count on us to be there with the next big thing.
Founded in 1986 as Electro-Precision Inc., John M. Carr built the business around his talents as a chemist producing high quality chemically etched surface mount stencils (the only technology available at the time). Along with his sons, John J. Carr, Marty Carr, and Christopher Carr, Electro-Precision capitalized on the market demand for Photo Chemically Machined Parts and incorporated state-of-the-art laser stencil technology. In April 1999, John M. Carr retired. He sold the business to his three sons and Bruce Weaver. In February 2000, Electro-Precision officially changed its name to Great Lakes Engineering to mark a new beginning for the company.
