Gerard Machine, LLC, a Kaukauna-based precision manufacturing company was acquired by local business owners Ben Bertram and Eric Stankevitz from founders Nick Gerard and Dan Wynboom.
Gerard Machine has built a reputation for precision machining, customer service, quality, and on-time delivery. The company specializes in Swiss CNC machining, a process known for producing small, complex, high-volume components with exceptional accuracy. Gerard Machine’s capabilities include turning, milling, drilling, tapping, broaching, threading, sawing, engraving, and other operations that can often be completed in one setup, helping customers reduce lead times and improve efficiency. The company also promotes the ability to hold extremely tight tolerances.
As part of the transition, Gerard will remain with the company and continue running daily operations. Wynboom, who helped build the company from the beginning, is enjoying retirement.
“We are excited to continue building on the foundation Nick and Dan created,” said Bertram. “Gerard Machine has earned a great reputation through hard work, technical ability, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Our goal is to support the team, invest in the future, and continue providing customers with the same quality and service they have come to expect.”
Stankevitz said, “Gerard Machine is a great Wisconsin manufacturing business with a skilled team and strong customer relationships. We are proud to be part of its next chapter and look forward to helping the company continue to grow.”
The acquisition is expected to provide continuity for Gerard Machine’s customers while creating new opportunities for growth.
Gerard Machine is located at W5051 Amy Avenue, Unit 13, in Kaukauna.
Stankevitz is the owner of Next Phase Excavation, LLC, based in Lena. Bertram, along with his wife Amy, owns and operates Fiberglass Solutions, LLC and Performance Insulation of Wisconsin, LLC, both based in Green Bay.
