GB celebrates 35 years in business

Nov. 16, 2021
GB Remanufacturing was started by Bill and Michael Kitching in Signal Hill, California.

Founded in 1986 by Bill and Michael Kitching, GB remanufactures and distributes premium gasoline and diesel fuel system related products to its customers around the world.

Bill and Michael started the company in a leased 1,100 square foot building in Signal Hill, California. The company’s original product offering was remanufactured carburetor choke pull-offs that were distributed to carburetor rebuilders. As the years progressed and automotive technology evolved, the company expanded its offerings and moved a short distance to its current location in Long Beach, California.

Today, the company has grown to more than 125 employees, 1,200+ products and has become the market leader in providing premium remanufactured gasoline and diesel fuel injectors, diesel electronics and components to the automotive aftermarket.

President and CEO Michael Kitching reflected on the company’s 35 years in business. “It has been an honor to lead this company and its employees over the past 35 years. The last two years have certainly put our business to the test, along with many others in our industry, and I could not be more proud of Team GB and all that we have accomplished during these unprecedented times. I look forward to working with our employees, taking care of our valued customers, and continuing to push forward and innovate industry-leading remanufactured products and technologies for many years to come.”

GB is still family owned and operated. We owe our success to our dedicated employees, providing our customers with the highest quality products, and our unwavering commitment to provide excellence in customer service.
