The Floor Up.

Industrial Expertise.
Integrated Solutions.
Real Results.

Founded in 2017, GLR Equipment Sales is an industrial solutions provider serving the automotive manufacturing sector with integrated equipment, engineering, and workforce capabilities.

Based in Detroit, Michigan, the heart of American automotive manufacturing, and Birmingham, Alabama, where automotive is made in the South, we specialize in used production equipment sales and installation, manufacturing engineering services, and skilled trades placement. We serve clients across the USA.

With 30+ years of leadership experience, GLR delivers practical solutions backed by hands-on operational expertise. We're not consultants or brokers. We're former plant managers, weld engineers, and skilled trades professionals who understand manufacturing from the inside out.

"Equipment and expertise from people who've worked every job in the plant."
