G&G Manufacturing Company

In November of 1943, George Graske had an idea for a business. He had come up with a way to make piston rings for locomotives in his basement. George quickly enlisted the help of his brother, Gus. They produced these parts together in George`s basement until Florence, George`s wife, got tired of the noise. The two brothers moved their business into a rented garage on 21st and Cummings Streets in North Omaha. Their tools were rather rickety, but they had a start. Today G&G has developed into a 220,000 square foot, seven building operation servicing all of North America. Once a sole supplier of agriculture components, G&G supplies products used in coal mining, recreation, home building, the food industry and many other fields.
