At Gibraltar, we recognize the collective strength of our employees drives our success, in good times and in more challenging times.
Our team came together in an extraordinary way over the last several months and created a new level of community, culture and family. Across our diverse set of companies, our team of over 2,500 employees stepped up to help each other, our families, and our communities.
Gibraltar companies supplied more than 3.3 million meals to local food banks and created and distributed 200,000 masks and 5,600 face shields to our employees, their families, first responders and those in need in our communities.
This is what sets us apart. This is what makes us stronger. This is what makes us all #GibraltarProud

Every day really matters! At Gibraltar, we support our people to realize their potential with meaningful career development opportunities where our people constantly learn, are challenged, and grow.

Gibraltar’s Workplace Giving Program partners with four charitable organizations – Ronald McDonald House Charities, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, and Habitat for Humanity International. For every donation or contribution an employee makes to any of these charities, Gibraltar matches the same contribution amount in the name of the employee.
In addition to Gibraltar’s Workplace Giving Program, our businesses fund a variety of local and regional charities in their respective communities with their time, talent, and treasure, such as:
Our team in Manhattan, Kansas participates in hosting tours for transitioning military members, including Military to Manufacturing, in partnership with the City of Manhattan, Kansas State University, and a few other area businesses.
Our employees attended the Gibraltar University at the beginning of this year. As part of this program, our employees also volunteered with the United Way of Metro Chicago in a comradery filled event to fill snack bags and create cards and inspirational messages to be presented to Blue Cap, located in Blue Island, Illinois. United Way of Metro Chicago works alongside best-in-class nonprofits, like Blue Cap to establish multiple pathways to success for all their neighbors. Blue Cap’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for children and adults with intellectual disabilities to be educated, have quality life experiences, be respected and be a valued member of their community.
We are committed to operating responsibly in the world by focusing on measuring, managing and reducing our carbon footprint, and promoting responsibility across our entire value chain.
