USC Visit

On July 18th, a group of engineering and chemistry students from USC’s M.C. Gill Composites Center embarked on an educational visit to The Gill Corporation (TGC) in El Monte, California. They were treated to a comprehensive tour of the facility.

Founded in 1947 by M.C. Gill, an alumnus of USC, TGC has established itself as a leading vertically integrated supplier of high-performance composite materials tailored for the aerospace sector. The company excels in manufacturing:

• Honeycomb core
• Prepregs
• Laminates
• Composite sandwich panels

TGC utilizes manufacturing processes to fabricate a wide variety of composite parts installed throughout aircraft, and specialized processes to bond core assemblies that are installed into engines, nacelles and structural applications.  TGC offers extensive value-added services, delivering fully assembled parts ready for direct installation in aircraft interiors.

Many of the visiting students are part of the USC chapter of SAMPE, a globally recognized society dedicated to advancements in manufacturing and process engineering. The tour was guided by faculty mentors, Professors Steve Nutt from the engineering department and Travis Williams from the chemistry department.
