D&G Machine Products,
Inc. is a privately held company
incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine. David Gushee and Fred
Loring founded D&G in 1967 in a one-car garage behind Dave's house.
We specialized in producing custom tooling and dies for capital equipment
manufacturers located in and around Portland. During the first five years
we added fabrication and welding to complement our rapidly expanding
machining capabilities.
We also introduced field services to expand our
capabilities. By 1972 we had outgrown our shop, we expanded our
operations to a site on the South Portland waterfront. In 1987 Fred
Loring left the company, at this time Dave Gushee brought in four junior
partners, Chuck Tarling, Ken Pritchard, Steve Sullivan and Duane Gushee.
By 1993 we had outgrown the South Portland facility and then moved to our
present facility here in Westbrook. In 1996 Dave Gushee retired leaving
ownership of D&G to the four junior partners. By 1998 we had outgrown
the 55,000 sq-ft facility, and added 35,000 additional square feet. And
then again in 2001 we added a 12,000 sq-ft facility at 3 Eisenhower
Drive, our light-manufacturing center.
The emerging high-tech market of the 1970's demanded that
we provide more sophisticated design and engineering services. Prototype
design and engineering analysis were soon added to our credentials.

To remain
competitive, in 1980 our first CNC vertical milling center went online,
followed shortly by CNC turning and horizontal milling centers. In 1994 our
first full 5 axis CNC machining center was added to a long list of
high-tech CNC machine tools. Later in the 1990's we became certified to
ISO-9002, making our quality program recognized worldwide.
As our company
matured, we have effectively managed and controlled production growth
through strict quality, production, cost control, and accounting systems.
These systems have been integrated, giving managers accurate information
when they need it.
Today, the D&G
team numbers more than 130 highly skilled personnel dedicated to
providing our customers with the engineering excellence, product quality,
and on time performance they have come to expect.
