Our Vision

To realize his goal of creating a highly principled, customer-oriented and technically savvy network for the distribution of metalworking products, Kevin V. G. Bevan founded GBI Cincinnati in July of 2003. Previously Vice President of Cincinnati Machine's Value Machine Business, Kevin assembled a group of experienced, former Cincinnati Machine professionals to staff the new company. Kevin and the employees of GBI are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and building strong relationships with their manufacturers, distributors and end-users.
