Gem Chain Bar Inc

Gem Chain Bar was established in 1989 in Kooskia, ID by former loggers who envisioned products that would make timber harvesting more efficient. Understanding how expensive down time is, we continually strive to increase product quality, performance and durability for the end user depending on it. In 2005, GEM began incorporating new technology into our manufacturing process and moved our shop to a larger facility in Grangeville, ID. We utilize automation and robotics to continually increase production capacity, quality and consistency. GEM is focused on a future that employs technology, innovation and extensive field testing to manufacture Made in the USA products that continue to lead the harvester industry. GEM manufactures harvester products for companies around the world. Creating an effective, efficient and high-quality product is critical for our success and the success of our customers. At the end of every cutting system is the sprocket, chain and bar. Increased profitability for our customers comes through ensuring longer, higher quality run times before changing those products. Gem employs both technology and field testing to create products that not only appeal to engineering but perform and last for the skilled worker in the field. “A lot of past and present employees comment on our business culture. We’re not a huge corporation. We empower our employees to be part of the product design and manufacturing process. We come to a decision as a group about the best course of action. We work together as a company and a true team. We strive to foster that collaboration with both our internal (employees) and external customers.” - Company President Kim Peterson
