How Giering Stays Ahead | Metal Finishing Excellence
At Giering Metal Finishing, staying competitive isn't solely about pricing; it's about performance, precision, and pride in our process. According to George Giering, President and CEO, what truly sets the company apart is its commitment to constant improvement and investment in people, technology, and process control. “We’re constantly upping our game to broaden our footprint and figure out ways to stay ahead of our competition.”
Precision-Driven Manufacturing Starts with Process Monitoring
One of the keys to Giering’s success lies in meticulous process monitoring. Whether it's maintaining the temperature of a curing oven or documenting coating performance, repeatability and consistency are non-negotiable. “If ovens are set at 400 degrees, they need to be running at 400 degrees in all zones of that cure oven.”
This attention to detail ensures every finish meets the same high standard whether it’s e-coating, powder coating, or a corrosion-resistant conversion coating. Equipment performance is tracked and benchmarked, and maintenance schedules are embedded into team calendars to create alignment between production and maintenance crews.
Preventive Maintenance Is More Than a Checklist—It’s a Culture
Staying ahead means anticipating issues before they become problems. That’s why Giering integrates preventive maintenance into its weekly rhythm. Every Saturday, the team is in the shop cleaning, inspecting, and preparing the space for a new week of production. “We shut down on Friday. That Saturday, our guys come in, we’re sweeping floors, wiping down systems so that Monday, we’re ready to rock and roll again.”
This process pays off. When customers walk through the facility, they see a clean, organized, and disciplined operation. “We’ve had customers say, ‘This is the cleanest finishing operation I’ve ever been in.’ That’s a huge pat on the back.”
Investing in Equipment, Facilities, and People
Giering doesn’t cut corners when it comes to equipment upgrades and facility improvements. From compressed air systems to air handling units, every component of the environment is scrutinized and optimized to support performance and product quality.
But the investment doesn’t stop with machines. The company recently outfitted its entire workforce with custom Giering apparel as part of a larger branding and culture initiative tied to the launch of its new website and video series.
A Culture of Teamwork and Daily Engagement
Beyond the operational excellence, what really drives Giering Metal Finishing is its people. Leadership isn’t limited to production meetings, it’s found in daily personal engagement, open communication, and a shared sense of ownership. This team-first culture reinforces the company's core values of accountability, quality, and collaboration. It's a big reason why clients trust Giering with complex, high-stakes finishing jobs.
