GG&G CASE STUDY

Project Overview

With more than 30 years of experience, GG&G, Inc. is a respected manufacturer of tactical weapon accessories for law enforcement agencies, military units, defense contractors, and civilian shooters across the country. Their product catalog includes over 5,000 SKUs, requiring extreme precision, rugged performance, and consistent, professional branding at scale.

Engraving Challenge

As a trusted name in tactical gear, GG&G required a laser engraving partner capable of:

Handling high-volume production with tight turnaround requirements

Engraving a wide variety of materials and complex geometries, including:

  • Hard-coat anodized aluminum
  • Stainless and carbon steel
  • Brass and other alloys
  • Commercial polymers
  • Industrial-grade rubber and plastics

Ensuring accurate logo placement, repeatable consistency, and support for serialized markings across hundreds of unique part types

Many of the components also demanded custom handling due to surface finish or cylindrical/contoured designs.

OUR LASER ENGRAVING APPROACH

To meet these demands, LEO Engraving:

  • Engineered custom fixtures and process flows for hundreds of SKUs
  • Utilized a combination of fiber and CO₂ laser systems, including 4th-axis rotary equipment for cylindrical parts
  • Designed workflows to maintain branding integrity and meet GG&G’s exact tolerances
  • Integrated seamlessly with GG&G’s internal production pipeline to minimize delays and support dynamic order volumes

MATERIALS & PROCESS SUMMARY

Over 4,000 components engraved monthly

Materials include:

  • Metal alloys (steel, aluminum, brass)
  • Polymers and composites
  • Industrial rubbers

Engraving tasks:

  • Precision logo placement
  • Serialized data engraving
  • Material cut-outs for tactical accessories

Client Testimonial

“In 2025 GG&G Inc. celebrated its 31st year in business. LEO Armory (now LEO Engraving) has been engraving GG&G products with the company logo and/or name for about a third of that time. In doing a quick calculation, that amounts to about 1,000,000 GG&G parts being engraved by LEO Armory/LEO Engraving. Were there a few mistakes? Yep, but very, very, very, and let me add very few mistakes. When they happened, Jeff, the owner of LEO and his great staff, always stood tall and accepted the responsibility and made it right! They did whatever it took to make it right. The staff at LEO Engraving has treated our staff with respect, friendliness, and a willingness to meet our schedule. It is apparent that Jeff and the fine team at LEO Engraving have not succumbed to the workplace disease called COMPLACENCY which has infected so many businesses across the United States! The core values at LEO Engraving are evident. They clearly include providing value through excellent workmanship, accountability and outstanding customer service.

I have one question for those of you reading this review and are considering employing LEO Engraving: “Why wouldn’t you want to employ the services of a company where the owner has created a culture of success that is of value to you the customer, with high quality engraving, excellent customer service, at a competitive price?”
These are the reasons GG&G employs the services of LEO Engraving and refers to their organization internally, not just as a vendor, but as a Vendor Partner.”
