History Founded as G.A.L Electro Mechanical Services in 1927 by Herbert Glaser, Jack Ambramowitz, and Harold Leon, the company started out with its own line of gate switches, interlocks, and door operators. The company quickly grew from being a key local supplier of lift products into a major national provider to the industry. In 1960 the company purchased Hollister-Whitney and soon after was renamed GAL Manufacturing Corp. The company moved to its current location in 1970. GAL's 100,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is located in the Bronx, near Yankee Stadium, at 50 East 153rd St. In 2005 GAL acquired Elevator Components Inc. (ECI), merging them with GAL Canada. In 2018, GAL acquired Courion, a leading provider of freight elevator door systems, Bore-Max, a producer of highly regarded hydraulic elevator components, and Elevator Controls, a highly renowned designer/manufacturer of elevator control systems. In 2018 all the companies united under the name of "Vantage" to create a stronger, centralized partner that would provide customers with easy access to an unprecedented range of resources. read more
