About Geater Machining and Manufacturing

Geater Machining and Manufacturing produces machined and sheet metal components for aerospace, electronics and other technology equipment. Its Independence, Iowa operation connects design and prototyping with manufacturing and assembly so components can move through several operations within one program. Finishing includes powder coating, liquid painting, chemical conversion coatings, stainless steel passivation and marking. Hardware installation covers rivets, clinch fasteners, standoffs and other assembly elements. Geater distinguishes its own operations from outside services: heat treating, anodizing, plating, form-in-place gaskets, and waterjet or EDM work are listed as partner-supplied services.
