Company History

G & W Industrial Sales was founded in 1964 by Jack Wood and Bob Gunnoe. Mr. Wood and Mr. Gunnoe formed G & W Industrial Sales by buying out the representation territory in West Virginia and bordering Ohio and Kentucky counties from E.V. White Company. E.V. White was a large manufacturer's representative with offices in Cleveland, Charleston and Cincinnati.

The "G & W" in the name comes from Gunnoe and Wood. They operated a company out of Charleston, West Virginia. In 1974, Mr. Gunnoe died suddenly and left Mr. Wood as the sole owner of G & W. In 1988, Ed Borkowski joined G & W Industrial Sales with the intention of buying Mr. Wood's interest in the business. Mr. Borkowski purchased Mr. Wood's interests on August 31, 1989. In March of 1990, G & W Industrial Sales moved the main office from Charleston to Parkersburg, WV. At the end of 1997 G & W moved into a new office building in Parkersburg, with expanded shop and warehousing capabilities.

G & W Industrial Sales has maintained a strong list of principals throughout most of its 25 years. We have a long term association with LIGHTNIN mixers, BS&B rupture disks and Wilden air operated, double diaphragm pumps. G & W Industrial Sales primarily serves the chemical processing industry in West Virginia and bordering counties of Ohio and Kentucky. The most recent product line addition is Enardo, who specializes in tank vents.
