GAINSBOROUGH INDUSTRIAL CONTROLS LTD

Gainsborough Industrial Controls (GIC) is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of vertical form fill and seal (VFFS) packaging solutions with over 40 years of experience.

GIC offers an extensive range of vertical bagmakers, accommodating many pack sizes and formats. We offer both pneumatic and servo-driven variants of our intermittent motion range, along with a range of high-speed continuous motion technologies, to ensure that we specify the correct solution to the customer's application.

Whether you require a small-footprint pneumatic machine as an entry into automation, a large-jawed GIC5000 capable of packing up to 25kg of product, or a continuous-motion GIC8100Q machine for packing quadpacks at high speed, you can expect GIC to deliver an excellent solution.

Our machines are both mechanically and electrically designed in-house to exacting standards, and all key suppliers are deliberately chosen to be UK-based, ensuring the enviable quality of GIC bagmakers is maintained. The result is industry-leading reliability and exceptionally low cost of ownership.

GIC backs up its products with an efficient, cost-effective after-sales service, including free telephone support and quick response times.

All spares and change parts for our vertical form fill and seal bagmakers are kept in stock to ensure minimum disruption and downtime for our customers.

From technical advice and training of customer engineers to fully maintained service and breakdown plans, GIC can accommodate your requirements. GIC has successfully installed hundreds of VFFS packaging solutions into many industry sectors, including bullion, fresh and frozen produce, industrial hardware, liquids, confectionery, snacks, pulses and powders.

GIC has in-house 3D design capabilities, enabling us to also project manage full-line and bespoke engineering solutions as appropriate. Whatever your application, GIC offer passion, knowledge, commitment and a high-quality engineering solution.

In 2025, GIC expanded its range to include linear weighers after buying the rights and intellectual property for manufacturing and supporting the Cotswold Mechanical range of linear weighers. GIC will continue to apply its core principles of quality manufacture and first-class after-sales support to its CWM Linear Weigher range.
