What GA MA & Associates does

GA-MA & Associates, Inc. is a privately held Florida corporation founded in 1975 and headquartered at 404 Cypress Road, Ocala, FL. The company manufactures specialty consumables for radiochemistry laboratories, with its core product being Marinelli-type beakers — re-entrant containers designed to maximize geometric detection efficiency by positioning large sample volumes as close as possible to a gamma-ray detector. The product portfolio is engineered across a precise matrix of detector endcap diameters (70mm–108mm), sample phases (solid, liquid, gas), and volumes (25cc–4L), and includes snap-on and threaded lid liquid/solid beakers, gas analysis containers rated to ±10 PSIG, valves (GAV-1, PVC-1, QDV-1), planchets in concentric, cupped, dished, flanged, and flat configurations, and small-volume radiogas containers (25cc, 100cc). Key technical differentiators are thin-wall construction to minimize attenuation of low-energy gamma lines (e.g., 81 keV Xe-133), disposability for high-throughput environments, and nestable form factors for storage efficiency.

The company operates an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality program covering all products, holds National Stock Number listings for several Marinelli beaker models enabling U.S. government/defense procurement, and sells directly to nuclear power plants, research laboratories, and process-monitoring operations in the USA and on six additional continents through direct sales and a distribution/reseller network. Revenue is generated through B2B hardware sales on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing model, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contracts; the company maintains no disclosed software, SaaS, or recurring revenue component. A referral/reseller relationship with F&J Specialty Products extends its reach into adjacent air-sampling product lines. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available data, consistent with a long-established, independently operated specialty manufacturer.
