Tapping into Youngstown, Ohio’s thriving manufacturing base, Louis, Roger and George Gasser roll open the doors to a metal fabrication shop. Their primary material? A sturdy, lightweight metal known as aluminum.
Filled with an entrepreneurial spirit and blue-collar grit, the Gassers begin partnering with local companies, assembling aluminum storm windows and screens, welding aluminum beer kegs, and going so far as to create custom parts for a prototype helicopter. No request is beyond their capabilities.

Growth mindset
Growth doesn’t occur in a vacuum. To outpace the competition, the Gasser brothers begin to grow their culture around three core tenets: a strong work ethic, sound engineering principles, and meticulous attention to detail.
With an eye toward producing their own products, the Gassers create their first aluminum-framed dinette set.
As sales stagnate close to home, George Gasser loads several chairs into his car and attends the National Restaurant Show. Attendees are immediately struck by the durable, lightweight design. By show’s end, Gasser would secure a large order of banquet chairs along with a handful of solid leads.
Gasser going forward
Gary Gasser, CEO, and Mark Gasser, President, continue to lead the family business forward. Through uncompromising design and engineering, and the best components available, Gasser continues to drive innovation in the gaming and hospitality industries.
