About Gallagher

Custom Machines and Automation

Every day the team at Gallagher works to redefine what’s possible in linear composite manufacturing and process automation, by designing and building customized braiders, winders, wrappers, and associated systems that help companies bring new products to market and grow.

Gallagher was founded in 1999 by Jim Gallagher, a mechanical engineer and inventor who developed several foundational patented machines and processes that helped launch new sectors for linear composite manufacturing.

Prior to starting his own company, Jim was the director of operations and a leader in the product development team at Fiberspar, the early innovator in spoolable composite pipe that transformed field operations in the oil and gas industry.

Today, Jim leads a talented team of engineers and fabricators at Gallagher who serve selected clients in the aerospace, defense, energy, and composite-based infrastructure industries. Gallagher’s design and manufacturing facility is located in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
