What Gerbig Engineering does

Gerbig Engineering Company, doing business as Gerbig Cleanrooms, is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of custom modular cleanrooms founded in 1985 and headquartered in Burnsville, Minnesota. The company specializes exclusively in modular cleanroom construction, operating from a single Burnsville office-and-shop facility that houses design, fabrication, and installation capabilities. Its proprietary AireCell® system—an interlocking anodized aluminum extrusion framework that accepts ¼-inch panels of various materials (aluminum skin, tempered glass, polycarbonate, aluminum honeycomb)—is the architectural backbone of both hardwall and softwall cleanroom builds, with the system designed to be reconfigurable and integrable with existing cleanrooms or conventional structures.

The product portfolio centers on complete modular cleanroom systems supported by an extensive accessories catalog: door systems (manual sliding, automatic sliding, swing, and high-speed roll-up), pass-through chambers, HEPA fan filter units (including Envirco MAC 10® units distributed under a master distribution agreement), cleanroom LED lighting, and panel options. Revenue is generated through project-based custom design-build contracts for enterprise customers, e-commerce hardware sales for standard accessories, recurring maintenance and troubleshooting services, and resale margins on distributed FFU products. Customers span medical device manufacturing (3M, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, St. Jude Medical, Resolve Surgical, Miromatrix Medical), pharmaceuticals and compounding, electronics and semiconductors, biotechnology and tissue banking (Vyriad, Fundacion Cosme Y Damian), and aerospace (NASA), with project delivery covering the U.S. nationally and select international engagements.

• AES Clean Technology: AES Clean Technology designs and builds modular and prefab cleanrooms for pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturers, overlapping with Gerbig's design-build offering and target customer verticals at a similar project scale.
• Clean Air Products: Clean Air Products manufactures modular hardwall and softwall cleanrooms, workstations, and related accessories, directly competing with Gerbig's AireCell-based offering for industrial and laboratory customers.
• Abtech: Abtech manufactures modular cleanrooms, softwall enclosures, and contamination control equipment for pharmaceutical, biotech, and electronics applications, comparable to Gerbig in product mix and customer verticals.

• Allied Cleanroom: Allied Cleanroom supplies modular cleanrooms, softwall cleanrooms, and cleanroom consumables to medical, pharmaceutical, and electronics manufacturers — directly comparable in product mix and customer base to Gerbig.

Broad incumbents

• G-CON Manufacturing: G-CON is a larger established prefab and modular cleanroom provider serving pharma, biotech, and cell therapy manufacturers; it operates at greater scale than Gerbig but competes in the same modular cleanroom design-build segment.
• Labconco: Labconco is a larger established manufacturer of laboratory equipment, fume hoods, and clean air enclosures, serving overlapping pharma, biotech, and research customers as a broader incumbent in clean/laboratory environments.

Others

• Envirco (parent of MAC 10 line): Envirco manufactures HEPA fan filter units including the MAC 10 line that Gerbig distributes as master partner; while not a direct cleanroom competitor, Envirco is both a supplier and an adjacent player in the cleanroom contamination-control ecosystem.
