Did you know that Great Plains Industries was founded by an engineer? GPI Founder Charlie Peer took a career downturn and turned it into an opportunity for countless people, including its current third generation of family leadership. In 1968, Charlie started his first business, Aerospace Systems and Components, by designing an air mixing valve for learjet. As the aviation industry has its ups and downs, Charlie soon looked to other stable markets and recognized that agriculture presented an opportunity. At a regional farm show, Charlie and his team presented a solution to cool off the cabs of combines - an evaporative air conditioning unit and a small transfer pump. And really, the rest is history for us! After years of dedication to research and development and building a team filled with entrepreneurial spirit, Great Plains Industries
is home to the GPI, FLOMEC, and GPRO brands that serve Industrial, Commercial and Retail customers in many applications: fuel, agriculture, chemicals, manufacturing, construction, mining, oil and gas, and many more. In 2013, the Company acquired Trimec Industries of Sydney, Australia. Trimec is a leading Australian manufacturer of positive displacement oval gear, insertion and impeller flow meters, ancillary flow hardware, and dedicated electronic flow instrumentation with Asian and European markets. Trimec is now named Great Plains Industries Australia. Both Great Plains Industries and Great Plains Industries Australia are known for superior engineering and durability in its products, along with strong customer relationships that reflect the Companies' family-owned heritage, strong work ethics and "Midwestern" and "Down Under" values.
Great Plains Industries has a long, exciting future ahead. Backed by the strength of our holding company, Great Plains Ventures, we are poised to transition to meet the future needs of the market. As manufacturing is GPV's heritage, there is an ongoing effort to invest in its companies, improving the state of manufacturing processes and developing teams. GPV also actively pursues acquisition opportunities to complement its manufacturing operations. Great Plains Industries and our global channel benefit from having two sales and manufacturing locations. Connect with us for localized support!
