Company

GS Metals has a proud history of customer and employee loyalty and a spirit of entrepreneurship. In 1987, an employee group from United States Gypsum's Metal Products Division engineered a buyout. We called our new company GS Metals after the products that brought us success in the past and that would help us secure our future. Today we lead the market in quality products and premier performance.

Products

Products include safety grating (GRIP STRUT®, PERF-O GRIP®, TRACTION TREAD® , GRATE-LOCK® , and LAMBDA-LOK®), channel framing (GLOBE STRUT®), cable tray systems (GLOBETRAY®) and cable management systems (FLEXTRAY®). Every year gets better as we continue to market aggressively domestically and internationally.

Location

GS Metals' 210,000 square foot facility is located just outside the city limits of Pinckneyville-- the county seat of Perry County--in southern Illinois. Communities in which our employees live provide the lifestyles and housing costs urban and suburban dwellers believe no longer exist. We have good schools with championship-winning teams.

Pinckneyville is located thirty minutes north of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Many of our employees live less than an hour from St. Louis and often visit the cultural, sports, dining, entertainment and shopping attractions in the metro area. Lakes dot our region and boating and fishing are popular as are gardening, "crafting", golf and hunting. Many of our employees enjoy the scenic and recreation opportunities in the Shawnee National Forest just south of Carbondale.

Benefits

In addition to working in a customer-focused, team-oriented environment, GS Metals' employees enjoy excellent benefits, including medical, life and disability insurance; 40l(k) retirement and pre-tax flexible benefit plans; tuition reimbursement and employee assistance programs.
