About

Founded in 1977.
Still family-owned.

GC Controls has been building electronic and electromechanical assemblies for customers across industrial, instrumentation, and automotive markets, out of the same upstate New York town, since 1977.

Hiram Gilbert, 1977.

GC-HIST-01

The company was founded in 1977 by Hiram Gilbert (1926-1992), an electrical engineer who built GC Controls around the idea that a small American contract manufacturer could deliver precision electronic assembly at a fair price: on time, competitively priced, built right.

That principle still frames the mission today: quality workmanship of electronic and electromechanical assemblies, on time, competitively priced.

25,000 sq ft in Greene, NY.

GC-FAC-01

We operate out of a 25,000 sq ft facility at 1408 County Road 2, Greene, NY 13778. Three SMT lines, multiple wave solder machines, MIRTEC AOI, harness and cable stations, and in-house engineering for custom test fixtures all share the same floor.

That keeps feedback loops short. The engineer who builds a fixture can walk over to the line running the assembly that needs it.

Today

Led by Dan Snowberger.

Dan Snowberger leads GC Controls today. The company has stayed family-owned, stayed in upstate New York, and stayed small enough that customers still deal directly with the people building their assemblies.
