Our Team

Chris and Dave added Gage Machine Tools to the Chaparral Machinery Portfolio in 2023 , they saw it as a perfect extension in their quest to provide quality equipment at an affordable price to the manufacturing Industry.

After purchasing Chaparral Machinery in 2020, and seeing what providing quality products with great service did for the Texas market, we saw the acquisition of Gage Machine Tools as a natural step in the growth of our company. 

Our manufacturing background aids in our ability to help customers maximize their ROI.
