From humble beginnings as a local wooden furniture manufacturer in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, Gamber-Johnson has developed into the global go-to partner for equipment mounting products — fulfilling the company’s cause of “supporting technology to help save the world.”
This evolution from producing furniture in 1954 to becoming a 21st-century world leader in mounting equipment for electronics was a natural progression fostered by a company culture of innovation and continuous improvement. As it expanded, Gamber-Johnson began producing fleet vehicle mounts for radios and computers, then providing solutions for material handling and point-of-sale, including mounts for security cameras and more.
Today, Gamber-Johnson is still proudly “made in Wisconsin” and manufactures mounting components and systems for laptop and tablet computers, radios, light and siren controls, surveillance cameras, point-of-use kiosks, printers, keyboards, and other devices — all meticulously designed to be rugged, reliable, and responsive.
Partnering with major technology manufacturers such as Dell, Getac, Panasonic, Samsung, and Zebra is key to this success. Gamber-Johnson is a trusted name in the industry; long known as the go-to partner for major rugged computer OEMs. With more than 20 patents and counting, the company continues to evolve, creating numerous jobs and meaningful opportunities for community stewardship.

Gamber-Johnson is a worldwide corporation with subsidiaries around the globe, including Precision Mounting Technologies (PMT) in Calgary. Currently, the company exports to more than 50 countries, with installations in thousands of fleets worldwide.

Our purpose and reason for being Gamber‐Johnson’s mission statement is purposely simplistic yet discretely sophisticated at the same time. These two words, Joyful Growth, reflect what our company sets out to achieve every day. There are four areas of our business that our mission statement is particularly meaningful for:
Our Guiding Principles Our Cause: “Supporting technology to help save the world.”
We believe the decision making should be done by the ones performing the work, with that same mentality these same team-members should be the ones meeting and performing business with our partners around the globe. See some of the first hand stories from these individuals.
I’m Zach, a Design Engineer in the Cradles & Docks Quick Response Office Cell. Being a part of the Quick Response cell promotes tremendous teamwork and helps us deliver a better overall product to our customers. As an engineer, it is extremely helpful to have other engineers sitting around me who I can bounce ideas off of and get feedback immediately. We can also make critical project decisions very quickly and get that information to the rest of the team. One of the best parts of being a part of the Gamber-Johnson team is having the opportunity to travel; last year, another Quick Response Cell member had the chance to travel to Japan to meet one of our biggest partners.
Japan Trip: We spent a couple of days in Japan working closely with our partners to discuss upcoming product development projects and other critical strategies. Meeting the team I’ve been working with for the past 5 years in person was great. We were lucky to get a personalized tour of their product history museum and outstanding manufacturing facility. It was incredible to see how their products are made and how much work goes into them; I have even more respect for their products now! After the partner visit, our fearless leader (Gautam – President of Gamber-Johnson) surprised us with tickets to ride the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to Tokyo. During the ride, I tracked our speed, and we traveled around 160 mph (250 kph) the whole ride there, which was mindboggling. Before returning home, we spent 2 days in Tokyo exploring the city and trying all the different foods. It was an experience I will never forget and something I don’t think you’d find at many other companies. Gamber Johnson encourages the team members who work directly with international partners to actually go and visit, which greatly increases our overall relationship with Kanpai!
Canada Trip: Another great experience I’ve had this year was being able to work from our subsidiary company in Canada all winter. I am passionate about snowboarding and have always wanted to travel to the Canadian Rockies in winter. Gamber-Johnson was generous enough to let me work from Precision Mounting Technologies all winter. Monday through Thursday, I was in the office working as normal with the Gamber-Johnson and PMT team, but the long weekends were spent out west in the mountains exploring the most incredible (and extreme) terrain I have ever seen. I was able to work with the engineering team up here and learn how they design products compared to us. I also ran through some 3D printer training with the team to help them expand their prototyping capabilities. Again, this was an experience I would not have gotten at any other company and will be remembered as my favorite winter for years to come. It’s another example of what makes Gamber-Johnson a great place to work!
I’m Kari, and I’m the Quality Manager. After working in the medical device packaging, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement industries for 20+ years, partnering with some of the largest companies in those industries, I decided to make an industry switch and came to Gamber-Johnson because of their reputation as an area leading employer. Spending most of my career in Quality in highly regulated facilities has allowed me to understand the need for process-driven, systematic, and efficient procedures. Also, several former partners were distributed to or were located in the Asia-Pacific ring, so I understand the driving factors behind high-quality, aesthetically pleasing products.
Sweden: I could travel to one of our partners located on the outskirts of Stockholm. Meeting the people distributing our product to a world leader in large construction equipment was fantastic. I toured this distribution facility and better understood how this product is packaged and distributed. After my visit to the distribution partner, I explored Stockholm and the surrounding area, including where some of my ancestors immigrated from.
Amsterdam: I have been fortunate enough to visit our 3PL warehouse in Amsterdam twice. This location distributes the bulk of our products to our European market. While at the facility, I learned of the challenges of distributing products to many different countries, all with their own regulations regarding the products, the packaging components used to ship the product, and the logistical challenges of running a 3PL. While in Amsterdam, I could tour the city’s oldest sections via train, moped, and foot.
I’m Krista, and I’m the Customer Support Manager at Gamber-Johnson. In 2018, I had the opportunity to attend the ESS trade show in the UK. It was great meeting so many face-to-face customers I have worked with, mostly through email. While there, I could also see the different vehicles being used compared to those at home and bring back some ideas for future product development. While I was in the UK, I visited London, where I saw the changing of the guard at Windsor Castle and rode the London Eye observation wheel to get a sky view of London Bridge and Big Ben.
Traveling internationally has never been something I would have thought about early in my career, but Gamber-Johnson has open opportunities to do so as we support a global market and have many partners in other countries. I am Darrell Martin, the Marketing Manager for Team GJ, comprising Gamber-Johnson, PMT, Premier Mounts, Zirkona, InfoCase, and Lind Electronics. Overseeing all these brands, I have the opportunity to collaborate with many OEM partners and other business partners to market our products and align initiatives to support our customers.
Taipei, Taiwan: In 2023, myself and a few others from GJ traveled to Taipei and met with some of these business partners as well as the entire Getac corporate team. Although I collaborate regularly with the Getac marketing team, it was a great opportunity to meet in person and discuss some plans to improve our relations in the future. While visiting the city for business, there were plenty of opportunities to experience the local culture and adventure at some attractions. I was most impressed with the amount of historic temples, local night markets, and the Taipei 101 tower.
Our team members understand that the company’s success is directly tied to the well-being of the communities in which they operate and serve. We may be situated in the heart of rural Wisconsin, but our social responsibility and community outreach not only extend far beyond the town, but also beyond the state.
As we have grown over the years, so has our ability to support the causes and organizations that are near and dear to the hearts of team members, their families, product resellers, and end users. Community support and stewardship activities have presented many benefits, including team building and talent attraction, higher employee morale, improved collaboration, relationship building, and much more.
POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO OUR COMMUNITY
Since 2020, Gamber-Johnson has made charitable contributions totaling over $250,000 to 20+ different Charities.
Gamber-Johnson is also proud to support our team members by matching employee charitable contributions of $25 or more to a maximum of $500 per employee per calendar year. Through this program, we proudly support the charitable organizations most near and dear to our team member’s hearts.
