Starting in 2006, Gill’s Manufacturing Inc. was the result of the partnership between Tom Guhl and Rick Mills. When starting their business, they incorporated their manufacturing to involve the Christmas light products that were originally being designed and developed by Herman’s Tool since 1980. Today their businesses has grown to involve a multitude of foundry machinery, hot wire Styrofoam cutting, and many aspects of rope or lightbulb displays.
Within their facility, Gill’s Manufacturing offers an interactive showroom that is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday with extended hours during the holiday season. By walking through the showroom, one can see that Gill’s Manufacturing offers more than just lighted Christmas décor as they also have lighted dinosaurs, boats, military memorabilia, and more! The lighted displays are cost and energy efficient with their updated LED lights. They also have a variety of steel cut outs perfect for any holiday!
