Gaining Ground in Green Bay

Written By: Patrick Stumpf, Economic Development Communications Manager, Greater Green Bay Chamber

In 2018, Tom Giese and Barbi Gossen started their entrepreneurial journey how many often do: out of a garage.

The following year, their growth brought Gain Control LLC — a design-throughbuild electrical engineering firm that designs, builds, and commissions electrical controls for all types of machines — to the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s business incubator, the Startup Hub.

Whether an equipment builder or fabricator in need of controls for new equipment, or a manufacturer looking to automate a machine or production line in your facility, Gain Control had the experience to design and build a turnkey solution. The best part? Not only did they hand test every solution before leaving their shop, but once a system is installed, they provided full startup and operator training. The services modeled at the Startup Hub offered Tom a centralized starting point for fellow entrepreneurs, innovators, and businesses like themselves seeking resources in Greater Green Bay. The facility features 50,000 square feet of opportunity, configured into offices, office suites and manufacturing bays, as well as a designated area for virtual clients.

Through the Startup Hub, the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s goal is to listen to a business’ unique needs, offer consultations and connections to aid success, and by offering a flat-rate lease complete with heat and A/C, internet, printing services, conference rooms, and more, help you affordably stay on track toward future expansion.

In October 2021, Gain Control’s continued rise out of their 1,000 sq. ft office in the Startup Hub necessitated yet another move, this time to a permanent 5,000 sq. ft space of their very own in Pulaski.

The additional physical space has allowed their team to hire more staff, and its work, even more ability to be utilized by a variety of industries across the world, including manufacturing, paper and packaging, food production, marine, printing and converting, and more.
