At GMS we feel there are 3 qualities or disciplines that set us apart from our competitors, let’s take a look at those ideals and reveal a little about our formula for success in the precision machining market.

Group Manufacturing Services, Inc., or GMS is a Tempe, Arizona-based and vertically integrated precision manufacturing company that can help with all your manufacturing needs.

Put simply, Group Manufacturing Services, Inc. is a single-source supplier for all of your manufacturing needs.
Many precision manufacturers are competing for your business in the market today both foreign and domestic.
So what does it take to compete in a crowded marketplace of manufacturing providers?
In our experience, it comes down to three factors… quality, dependability, and exceptional customer service.
By keeping an intense focus on these three disciplines we feel this helps to set us apart from our competitors.
The first discipline is quality and simply put, quality is everything.
As a manufacturer, your reputation is on the line with each part you design, produce, finish, and deliver.
There is no wiggle room for error when 100% accuracy is required.
Quality is what GMS delivers, every time… all the time.
Dissatisfied?
It’s our results-oriented customer service team’s job to make it right, and that’s what they will do.
The second discipline is dependability and GMS prides itself on this idea.
Your organization likely needs parts on a specific schedule to maintain an array of timelines and we understand this.
You can depend on GMS to be a dependable supply chain partner and single-source supplier for all your precision component needs.
And finally, the third discipline that sets us apart from other manufacturing companies is customer service.
Sure you may be able to get a cheaper quote from somewhere in China… but who will you be dealing with?
What level of customer service can you expect when there are language and custom barriers?
GMS prides itself on providing the best possible customer service experience.
It can be a daunting process to design or re-design a product for the uninitiated.
At GMS we take all the fear and guesswork out of the process and replace it with experience and clear communication.
GMS will walk through the process with you, ensuring you are satisfied every step of the way.

In the metal finishing industry as with any other retailer, the saying goes “The customer is always right.”
Popularized at the turn of the century, this statement embodies the philosophy that customers should not be cheated or deceived.
Group Manufacturing Services has embraced this idea for over twenty years while working with a wide spectrum of businesses and industries.
If you are interested in learning more about our work ethic and philosophies about metal fabrication, prototyping, and engineering all you have to do is listen to a few of our satisfied customers.
Will Glass is a buyer in the aerospace industry and had this to say about GMS:
Group (Manufacturing Services, Inc.) is a world-class sheet metal fabricator and machine shop right here in the heart of Tempe/Phoenix. Their customer service and quality are by far the best I have experienced in my 16 years as a buyer in the aerospace industry. Eric, Candy, Ben, Brandon, and team always put the needs of my business first and are always responsive to my requests. Looking forward to furthering our business and exploring their new paint shop.
Consistently placing the client’s needs at the forefront while at the same time keeping lines of communication open is another key to our success.
Our talent for consistency was recognized recently by one of our regular clients, Sara Hipperson who left this glowing review:
I’ve been working with GMS almost every day for 4 years now. They are very professional, consistent, responsive to your needs, and have been known to work many production miracles for our company. I highly recommend GMS for anyone looking for quality.
Providing custom-fabricated sheet metal parts is at the core of what we do, and this fact was not lost on Shannon Boysen who posted this about Group Manufacturing Services:
Best place to go for Fabricated parts, Powder Coating with Great Pricing and Turnaround times. Very nice to work with.
Our clients trust GMS to get the job done right the first time, on time, with high-quality craftsmanship while also coming in at a fair price.
With AS9100 Rev. D, AWS, and ITAR certifications, GMS works across a broad array of industries such as military, aerospace, and telecommunications providing professionally crafted parts.
We feel that GMS offers more value than any precision sheet metal, machining, design & prototyping, or parts finishing shop in Arizona, and so do our satisfied clients.
Perhaps this sentiment is best summed up by Eric Hazen’s short critique of GMS:
Good company to work with, amazing with sheet metal!

Group Manufacturing Arizona takes a moment to reminisce and reflect upon the year 1984…
What a year it was.
The first Apple ‘Macintosh’ went on sale.
The Space Shuttle ‘Discovery’ took its maiden voyage into space.
Moviegoers were packing theaters to see blockbusters like ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘The Terminator’.
But there was also one more important milestone in 1984…
Group Manufacturing Arizona opened its doors for business in Tempe, Arizona.
GMS was created with a two-fold goal in mind…
The first goal is to produce high-quality precision sheet metal parts.
The second is to maintain the highest possible levels of quality and customer service.
For over forty years we have been providing quality manufacturing services to businesses and industries.
Over the decades one of our major priorities has always been investing in and upgrading our internal infrastructure.
Not only does this enable us to better serve our clients, but it allows us to continue to grow and serve new and expanding markets.
These upgrades in technical machinery as well as enhanced and expanded facilities have positioned Group Manufacturing Services, Inc. to be an industry leader.
Of course, it takes more than state-of-the-art machinery and a high-tech CNC machine shop to make it big in the precision sheet metal business.
It also takes a talented team of engineers, designers, and machinists to bring all this technical machinery to life.
To be honest, GMS wouldn’t be the manufacturing powerhouse it is today without the tireless dedication and commitment to the quality of our entire employee group.
GMS offers end-to-end precision manufacturing solutions for small, medium, and large-sized runs with full traceability, short lead times, and unbeatable customer service.
