GAMA Electronics Plant 2

About GAMA Electronics Plant 2

GAMA Electronics was founded in 1990 by John and Irene Golbeck in Woodstock, Illinois, about fifty miles northwest of Chicago. From its inception, the company positioned itself as a full-service electronic products manufacturer serving customers worldwide. The company designs and manufactures electromechanical and electronic controls, including custom electronic assemblies, switches, control panels, and wireless remote controls. Its Woodstock facility handles both through-hole and surface-mount PCB assembly, mechanical assembly, wire harnessing, and packaging, with production rates ranging from low-volume to high-volume sustained runs. In-house design capabilities span circuit and PCB layout, software development, and mechanical design for sheet metal, injection-molded plastics, graphical overlays, and control panels. Prototyping is performed internally to validate designs before tooling. Global manufacturing alliances supplement U.S. production. GAMA serves the transportation, industrial equipment, medical, agricultural, and marine markets. In transportation, it produces patented battery disconnect switches and high-volume cruise control switch assemblies for a major U.S. automotive manufacturer. Industrial customers use motor controls, access controls, remote controls, HVAC controls, gymnasium equipment controls, winch and hoist controls, and lighting controls. Medical work includes a line of heat sealers and custom assemblies for X-ray machinery, pharmaceutical dispensing equipment, and patient assist devices. Agricultural applications feature remote control systems, motor control assemblies, and custom control panels. The company emphasizes a family-oriented workplace culture, stating that happy employees lead to satisfied customers. Its ISO 9001 certification underpins quality assurance, while the combination of a modern U.S. facility and global partnerships aims to deliver competitive pricing and timely delivery. A focus on research and development means the product portfolio reflects both current offerings and engineering capabilities.
