Gulf Machine Shop was founded in 1953 by brothers Stacy, Delmer, Curtis and Maxel Smith along with Ralph and Johnny Moreau. Over the years, the parters began selling their shares back to the business, one by one until Stacy Smith and his wife Lois were the sole owners. In 1984, their only child, and current owner, Lloyd Smith and his wife Barbara purchased Gulf Machine Shop, Inc. from his parents. 

​

In 1953 the original shop consisting of 2016 square feet was erected on one acre of land. In a short 3 year span, additional shop floor space was needed, and an additional 7200 square foot building was added to the original building. Since that time, it has grown to a total of 29,982 square feet on 3.16 acres of land.

 

We offer machining and fabrication job shop services and precision waterjet cutting for single parts or production runs, as well as hard surfacing and dynamic balancing.
