Giant Finishing

What Giant Finishing does

Giant Finishing, Inc. is a family-owned U.S. manufacturer of mass finishing and surface preparation equipment headquartered in Addison, Illinois. Founded by Miro Oryszczak (a University of Illinois-trained mechanical engineer) after 15 years in the deburring industry, the company designs and builds vibratory bowls (GB and GBB series), vibratory tubs (GT and Wedge series), vibratory ovals (GO series), high-energy centrifugal barrel tumblers (GCB series), wet/dry slurry blast cabinets (GSB and GDB series), continuous flow systems (FT series), belt washers/dryers (GRD), and cabinet parts washers, supported by an in-house consumables line of ceramic, plastic, and steel vibratory media plus burnishing, degreasing, descaling, and rust-inhibiting chemical compounds. The technology base rests on proprietary features such as a balanced suspension drive system, internal separation, and an electronic variable speed drive with digital tachometer, and the company offers custom-engineered turnkey finishing systems including material handling and wastewater treatment.

The business is run as a sales-led, factory-direct operation: customers in precision manufacturing, machine shops, performance racing, firearms, ammunition, powdered metal, and aerospace purchase directly via phone, email, or web inquiry, with a free Sample Process Development Lab lowering evaluation friction. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales ranging from roughly $1,500 for mini benchtop bowls to $24,900+ for standard industrial units (with larger systems quote-based), supplemented by a recurring consumables annuity from media and chemical compounds, replacement parts and accessories, equipment leasing, and a factory-certified refurbished equipment channel. The company serves North America, Central America, and South America, with second-generation owner Mark Oryszczak overseeing sales and marketing since 1996 and Miro Oryszczak continuing to lead the engineering team.
