Genie - A Terex Brand genielift.com GWY, LLC gwyinc.com

GWY, LLC, the global leader in providing bolt installation tools!

A spark of inspiration came in the late 1960s, when Gene—an ironworker—was assembling a new gantry crane at Bath Iron Works in Bath, ME. Japanese powerhouse, Nippon Steel, supplied the crane, which featured a new type of bolt that had a twist-off tip (known as a TC bolt), as well as the electric shear wrenches necessary to install the bolts. Envisioning a broader application for these bolts across the United States, TC Bolt Corporation was soon formed to import and distribute TC Bolts and shear wrenches domestically.

With the business expanding worldwide in the 1970’s and with rapid growth continuing into the 1980’s, TC Bolt Corporation soon saw the demand for TC bolt expertise and project consulting. The business then became its own self-sufficient enterprise known today as GWY, LLC.
