We are a privately-held, family-owned business. For more than 75 years, we have been dedicated to working for scientific progress, with the same strongly-held values that have been guiding the company since its creation. We are your trusted partner for every place your science takes you.
Our Uniqueness Makes a Difference
Our difference is in our company model. We are third-generation family-owned, which offers stability and continuity for our customers. As a global company, we have operations worldwide but are still sized right for flexibility and shifting quickly to execute decisions.
Dr. Warren Gilson, a scientist himself, founded Gilson in order to make labwork more efficient for his peers. With most of our profits going toward R&D, we have an extensive team of technical and scientific experts focusing on trends and discoveries.
We recognize the significance of our role in our local communities and our responsibility to protect our environment. So, while others are offshoring, we keep our manufacturing and logistics close to our local sites and our customers, creating jobs at home and reducing our carbon footprint by shortening our supply chain. We are also proud to have been awarded the EcoVadis Silver Award for Excellence in Environmental Responsibility, Social Laws, Business Ethics, and Supply Chain Management. And we're just getting started!
