Our company began operations in 1944 as a local machine and welding shop to provide repair work for the Gainesville area, which included poultry processing plants.

In the early 1940's, the company became involved in the development of scalding and picking equipment and by the late 1950's had progressed to providing a full line of equipment, parts, and services. In the early 1970's, the company was purchased by Chickmaster Corporation and consolidated its seven locations into one new 113,000 square foot facility. The company name was also changed to GAMCO.

Stork N.V. acquired the company in January 1976, and the name changed again to Stork Gamco.

In May 2008, when the sale of Stork Food Systems to Marel was finalized, Stork Gamco became part of Marel.

Today, our company, Marel Stork Poultry Processing, employs approximately 180 people in its state-of-the art 250,000 square feet research, design and fabrication facility in Gainesville, Georgia USA.
