Fives Giddings & Lewis Celebrates 160 Years



Fives Giddings & Lewis celebrates its 160th anniversary in 2019, with a special celebration happening this summer. "What started back in 1859 as a lumber equipment job shop has grown and evolved with the demands of the markets, touching several industries along the way," said a company spokesperson.

Fives Giddings & Lewis still stands today in the same location as in 1859. "In 1902, we began producing machine tools, starting with engine lathes and boring mills. During World War I and World War II, a large portion of the business was in government work as our nation's defense department and military took first priority," continued the spokesperson. In 1955 the first commercially available CNC was created in partnership with MIT. Current innovations include the integrated contouring head and vertical turning center and milling product lines. The company has been part of the Fives Group since 2013.

"Invitations to the celebration will be sent later this year, welcoming customers, suppliers and other key industry partners for an open house event. As part of the year-long celebration of events in 2019, Fives Giddings & Lewis is running a couple of contests. Think you have the longest operating Giddings & Lewis machine on your shop floor? Submit a video of it still in operation at your facility to be entered. Giddings & Lewis will also share the top 160 reasons 'Why Buy G & L' throughout the year. The top three reasons submitted will receive a prize," said the spokesperson. For an invitation to join the open house celebration and information to see the latest machine tool technology, or on the contests, contact Kimberly Prophett at Kimberly.prophett@fivesgroup.com.
