For over 80 years, J.M. Grimstad has stood at the forefront of fluid power innovation, evolving from a regional component distributor into a premier single-source systems integrator. Our backstory is rooted in solving complex mechanical challenges, turning standard hydraulic components into custom motion control systems that empower machinery to push, pull, lift, and lower across demanding land and marine environments.
Over the decades, Grimstad expanded its engineering capabilities through strategic growth and acquisitions, integrating specialized expertise in scrap metal baling automation, heavy-duty actuators, and Great Lakes marine hydraulics. However, our most defining milestone was transitioning into a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) organization.
Today, that culture of ownership defines every project we deliver. With an average employee tenure of over 17 years, our team brings deep technical expertise and direct personal accountability to every design, control panel build, and system test. When you partner with J.M. Grimstad, you are not just hiring a vendor; you are working alongside dedicated employee-owners who are personally invested in your long-term success.
The Grimstad family of companies brings together specialized fluid power engineering, heavy manufacturing, marine winch design, and field service. With Galland Henning, GT Hydraulic Specialists, and Collomatic Mooring Winches under our umbrella, we offer end-to-end support across complete equipment lifecycles. From system design and UL-508 panel fabrication to custom power units, routine maintenance, and high-density scrap balers, our unified expertise keeps heavy industry moving forward.
As a 100% employee-owned company, every team member has a direct stake in our customers’ success. Our commitment goes well beyond supplying parts. We take personal pride in every system engineered, every panel wired, and every maintenance call answered, delivering unmatched quality and reliable long-term partnership.
