Gilbert Products Celebrates 40th Anniversary
More than 125 guests gathered in late September to celebrate Gilbert Products’ 40th anniversary. The event brought together current and former employees, clients, suppliers, financial partners and other long-standing collaborators who have helped shape the company over the years, in an atmosphere of pride, gratitude and camaraderie.
Founded in 1986, Gilbert Products took this milestone as an opportunity to recognize the people who have contributed to its growth and success over the past four decades. Through shared memories, reunions and testimonials, the evening highlighted the people and values that have shaped the company’s identity since its beginnings.
“If there’s one thing that 40 years of history remind us of, it’s that a company like Gilbert is never built alone. It’s built by people. By our employees, of course—those who are with us today and all those who have contributed to Gilbert over the years,” said Audrey Gilbert, Director of Corporate Affairs and Communications.
After 40 years in business, the company looks to the future with the same passion, determination and pride that have driven it from the very beginning.
