9/23/2013 - 10/12/2013. New Patriot being installed.
Raj Nainani and an assisting technician are in South Africa installing a new GBN Block/Stringer Patriot.GBN has shown not only to be a
valuable asset to pallet builders in the USA, but also around the world. In 2013, GBN Patriot Block/Stringer Systems have
been delivered and installed in New Zealand, China and South Africa. These deliveries have supplemented domestic
delivers of the Patriot, proving its ability to provide new Block Pallet
Production along with New Stringer Pallet Production at a reasonable entry
level as the market gets its feet wet in the USA providing Block Type Pallets.
The GBN Patriot is an entry level Pallet Nailer and is being accepted as the right way to go as you learn and feel your way into Block Pallets. These are coming and those who are on the mark have chosen GBN to supply the machines. As business grows, the Patriot can be expanded to a two nailing head GBN System such as the Trailblazer or Excalibur or as one customer has done this year, left his current Patriot as is and adding another so that his product mix can be more flexible.
GBN not only makes a Nailing System with the capacity of the Patriot, but a number of higher capacity systems like the Explorer, Trailblazer, Excalibur and Excalibur II.

October 9, 2013. GBN Excalibur II number six is shipped.
GBN Machine reached a new milestone shipping its sixth Excalibur II Block Pallet Nailing Line. The Excalibur II was developed originally for CHEP USA to build their Mark 55 Block Pallets as quickly and accurately as possible. CHEP wanted a machine that was reliable and could stand the rigors they were demanding. The first Excalibur IIs were installed for CHEP in 2005 and there were three of them. They have been reliably producing at an eight second rate for CHEP who runs them 20 hours a day, six days a week. CHEP added another two years ago as well.
The one shipped today becomes the second non CHEP Delivery for the GBN Excalibur II. It too will be making the same spec nine block perimeter base pallet with improved accuracy and reliability. These are but two qualities built into every GBN, yet a GBN though better does not cost more.

December 16, 2013. GBN has recently installed a new addition to its family of better nailing systems, this time aimed at a market not in wood pallets, but one in the clinch nailing of wooden cable reel flanges. There has not been a machine made in the western hemisphere of this type of nailer in more than 50 years. GBN with its expertise and engineering savvy was approached and has designed what is probably the widest nailer built in North America if not the world.
March 1, 2014. See us at the Annual Meeting of the National Wood Pallet and Container Association in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
May 16 - 17, 2014. EXPORICHMOND always proves to be a successful exhibition for GBN Machine & Engineering Corp. GBN displayed its new "Reel Horse" Cable Reel Flange Nailer. It was the most different and newest machine presented in the field of heavy nailing. A nailer like this has not been built in over 50 years and GBN took the bull by the horns and built one with a 122 Inch opening, allowing Flanges up to 96 inches. This machine was sold to Van Voorst Lumber of Illinois.
