For those that wanted to know a bit about the company this is where you'll find it. F.W. Gartner was founded in 1923 by Fred W. Gartner, FW Gartner has been a name synonymous with quality, integrity and innovation at every stage of our development. The family continues to build on this strong foundation with fourth generation President, Michele Falzon, continuously investing in new technologies and instilling the values and work ethic that have forged this company into the surface engineering powerhouse that it is. 

Our constant effort to strive for excellence in all areas of thermal spray, laser cladding and general surface engineering has provided our customers with a valuable resource in component manufacture, repair and replacement. By maintaining quality and providing innovative solutions, FWG has enabled its clientele to increase component life and improve reliability while reducing downtime and cost. This was the key to our success in the twentieth century…and it continues today. 

Our customers remain our best recommendation. Drawing our client base from many Fortune 500 companies, their testimonials speak volumes about the values and ethic of our management and staff. Below is a sample from a letter sent to us by one of these major companies who wrote: 

“I wanted to take a minute to let you know that the coating job you guys did on our XXX for XXXXX was practically immaculate. As usual, FW Gartner’s quality has proved to be top notch (not that we ever doubted), and we can only hope that all of our future jobs are returned to us with equal quality and care. This speaks highly of your company, as you are obviously employing a 1st rate crew. Please let your crew know that we greatly appreciate the excellent job (and I will certainly tell them myself when I make it down there to tour in the near future). Keep up the good work!” 

I'll have more on the beginnings of FWG soon.
