General Devices Co, Inc.

General Devices Co, Inc. was founded in 1953 by Herbert and Gladys Fall. While serving as a U.S. Naval Officer, Herb Fall recognized the need for easier and less time consuming ways to service the hard mounted electronic equipment. With his mechanical engineering background, Fall developed a new kind of telescoping slide - the original Chassis Trak® slide.

In the years that followed, General Devices has grown to become a diversified manufacturer of finished metal products and sheet metal fabrications. General Devices also supplies the industry's largest selection of solid bearing, ball bearing and heavy-duty bottom mount slides to original equipment manufacturers worldwide. Three modern, vertically integrated manufacturing plants (housing over 160,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space) are located on more than 300 acres in Indianapolis, IN, and feature a company-owned, public use airport.
