GAM Enterprises employee profile: Nick
Title: Custom-machining specialist
Background: Extensive experience over 45 years at facilities for Ferrari and GAM Enterprises, among others
Years with GAM Enterprises: 20
Day-to-day: Customizes parts with specialty expertise in manual and computer-aided processes
Take on GAM culture: “I consider GAM Enterprises part of my family; I grew up with the owner of this company and his father, who I consider to be a really wonderful person — and I feel like I’m part of the GAM family myself after so many years.”
Take on GAM capabilities: “I started my career in the machine-tool industry before CNCs existed. So everything was done by hand-operated systems dedicated to one operation — Bridgeports, milling machines, and turret lathes, for example. I’ve learned a lot of techniques over my four decades in the industry, and have worked to keep current with the latest technologies.”
Even as GAM automates and buys high-end CNC machines, Nick helps GAM use its machines to its full potential. “I’m amazed by the push-button functionality of today’s machines, and learn and lead from behind, if you will — as my strength will always be the understanding of core tooling functions, and the response of materials to cutting and removal techniques, even as the machine controls and interfaces evolve.”
