Gentle Giant was founded in 1980 with the goal of establishing a company of unique quality and service. Over the years we have established a reputation for service that is second to none. We maintain a commitment to hire the very best and provide exceptional service in terms of care, efficiency, and courtesy. We draw heavily upon our resources within national rowing communities and other athletic disciplines. These resources have enabled us to assemble a professional work force, whose renowned size and strength are complemented by our GIANT standards of skill, intellect, and integrity.
Our people are outstanding, intelligent, and highly trained. We treat our employees with respect and compassion and expect that they will extend the same courtesy to our customers. Working in teams, our people are encouraged to communicate fully with customers and to make on-the-job decisions that result in success and exceed our customers’ expectations. We encourage employee growth and development, and maintain the highest level of concern for the health, welfare, and safety of all who represent Gentle Giant. And we’re not just talk. Several of Gentle Giant’s nationwide branches have been recognized as a Healthiest Employer by the Healthiest Employers awards program. Learn all about our numerous workplace environment awards here!

We always put our customers’ interests first, and make dependability our hallmark. Every customer’s needs demand the most efficient, prompt, and energetic effort. Applying the best equipment and technology available, we strive tirelessly to better our own unmatched levels of performance. We never take our reputation for granted.
