El Monte, California – September 11, 2025: Eighty years ago today, our founder, M.C. Gill, had a vision: plastics were the future. From a small garage in Montebello, California, he began producing consumer goods like lampshades and wall coverings, even an innovative balsa bat and cork ball baseball game set.
After seven years of struggle, a pivotal opportunity changed everything. We were tasked with manufacturing belly baggage compartment wall linings for Douglas Aircraft’s DC-6. Seizing this chance, The Gill Corporation pivoted from consumer products to commercial aviation, a market we have proudly served ever since.
Our original “cargo liner” which is known as Gilliner®, has evolved significantly over the decades. Today, we’ve expanded our capabilities to include sandwich panels, honeycomb, and “installation-ready” parts that are machined, bonded, and fabricated to precise standards. This vertical integration allows us to provide complete, high-quality composite solutions.
From a single garage to four global sites and eight buildings at our El Monte, CA headquarters, we are more dedicated than ever to being the world’s leading manufacturer of advanced composites for the aviation industry. With a strong foundation built on decades of experience, expertise, and a commitment to excellence, we are ready to continue our legacy of innovation for many years to come.
