The Gill Corporation provides customers around the world with value added products by optimizing vertically integrated production processes.
Honeycomb special processing begins with production of a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic honeycomb cores that can be sized to maximize yields of core details, assemblies and parts.
Utilizing our 3-, 5- and 6-axis CNC machines, our experienced engineering and CNC programming teams combine their process knowledge, which results in close tolerance machined honeycomb details and large complex core assemblies.
Our vast portfolio of value added, special processing capabilities transforms slices of metallic and non-metallic honeycomb into contoured bonded assemblies, delivered to customers spanning aerospace, space, defense, military, marine, rail and other industries.
Value added services are tailored to meet or exceed customer expectations while eliminating waste, time and costs. These services include custom packaging, kitting and just in time delivery.
