GPI Adds Facility Expansion, Personnel, ISO Certification



GPI Prototype recently announced the completion of a facility expansion to double office space to accommodate new staff brought in to handle rapid company growth. In addition, existing warehouse space has been remodeled to accommodate six more direct metal machines.

Historically focused on building metal prototypes, GPI has been growing the portion of its business dedicated to additive manufacturing. "In preparation for this strategic commitment, GPI added two key individuals to its production and engineering departments in 2014," said a company spokesperson. "The team was strengthened by the addition of a metallurgical engineer and a metals applications engineer. This addition is spearheading R&D and production capabilities on all DMLM machines."

To further support the growth of its metal additive manufacturing services, GPI has been adding to its production capacity. In 2014, GPI acquired two new direct metal machines. These machines are dedicated to the production of aluminum parts. "GPI is currently the only company offering production parts with AlSi12 aluminum on a ProX300," said the spokesperson. "Growth continues for GPI, especially with the scheduled delivery of a new EOS M290."

In response to increased opportunities from the aerospace and medical industries, GPI recently achieved certification for AS9100:2009RevC, ISO 13485:2003, ISO 9001:2008 and is a registered ITAR facility. "These certifications provide GPI with the standardized processes used to create quality products and meet regulatory requirements," said the spokesperson. "During the course of certifications, GPI created an Internal Management System, providing assurances in all manufacturing processes. Requirements include internal audits, recordkeeping, process procedures and monitoring, management reviews and corrective and preventative action plans."

GPI has also made changes in upper management. Scott Galloway, Founder and President, will take on the new role of CEO. Adam Galloway, promoted from VP Sales and Marketing, has assumed the role as President of GPI. According to the spokesperson, Adam joined the company in 2003 and has been an integral member of the management team at GPI for the past eight years.

"It is exciting to be part of a company that is not afraid to take risks and realize when diversification is necessary to sustain strong growth," said Adam Galloway. "GPI started out specializing in prototypes. As we have continued to make giant steps forward, the production capabilities we offer today continue to allow GPI to reach higher levels within the AM industry."
