JEMMS-Cascade

What JEMMS-Cascade does

JEMMS-Cascade, Inc. is a privately held, family-operated manufacturer of custom and standard nutrunner attachments used in manufacturing assembly. Founded in 1988 in Troy, Michigan by Donald Galat and Susan Galat and now led by the founders' son Mike Galat, the company has continuously operated for more than 35 years. Its 12 product categories cover closed-end/open-end offset, weatherstrip, aerospace, multi-spindle, angle head, inline/angular, hold & drive, fixtured/retractable spindle, whipless/safety sleeve accessories, and bespoke unique-design attachments, with attachment engineering, manufacturing, and testing handled in-house.

The underlying technology is mechanical and tooling-based rather than digital: physical nutrunner attachments engineered to interface with 20+ major tool brands (Bosch, Desoutter, CP, Makita, Stanley, Ingersoll Rand, Apex, Yokota, and others). Customers are B2B manufacturing buyers across four verticals - automotive (primary), aerospace, construction/agriculture heavy equipment, and general industry - with the company explicitly addressing access, quality, traceability, and process challenges in those assembly lines.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in a direct B2B sales motion with quote-based pricing (no public list pricing) and no disclosed distribution intermediaries, supported by express global shipping from a single U.S. facility. The 11-50 employee firm has no external investors, no parent company, no funding rounds on record, no patents disclosed, and limited publicly verifiable financials.
