Our roots trace back to The Gayston Corporation, a metal manufacturing company founded in 1951 that specialized aluminum products for a variety of industries. With nearly 75 years of aluminum expertise, we’ve produced countless cylinders and parts for leading manufacturers across a variety of industries and applications.
Our composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) expertise is perfect for satellite propellants and other pressurized fluids used in aerospace applications.
Our composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace systems. These include satellite propulsion tanks, inert gas systems, emergency egress systems, and pressurized fluid storage for orbital and suborbital platforms. Our cylinders are optimized for weight, performance, and compliance with stringent aerospace standards.
Our vertically integrated manufacturing approach and in-house inspection and testing are ideally suited for the disciplined and quality conscious automotive industry.
We support cutting-edge automotive applications with high-performance cylinders designed for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (Type III and Type IV storage), natural gas vehicles (NGV), air suspension systems, and onboard pneumatic controls. Our vertically integrated process ensures traceability, consistent quality, and regulatory compliance from start to finish.
We have contributed to our nation’s defense on a variety of critical rocket, grenade and mortar fin programs.
From battlefield-ready equipment to precision-guided systems, our cylinders support defense applications such as missile and rocket propulsion, high-pressure gas actuation systems, emergency life support systems, and portable gas containment. We’ve contributed to fin-stabilized munition programs and continue to support mission-critical defense technologies.
Our ability to manufacture seamless cylinders within the constraints of the retail industry, while meeting regulatory standards has set us apart in this competitive market.
We manufacture compact, safe, and durable cylinders for CO₂ dispensing in soda machines, beer taps, and beverage carbonation systems, ensuring compliance with FDA and beverage-grade standards. Our seamless aluminum construction ensures product purity and safety in consumer-facing applications.
We’ve perfected manufacturing thin-walled DOT 39 aluminum cylinders that are light weight, aesthetically pleasing and unique to the industry.
Our lightweight, thin-walled DOT-39 aluminum cylinders are ideal for oxygen therapy, anesthesia delivery, portable medical devices, and emergency response kits. They are designed for both form and function—offering aesthetic finishes and ergonomic shapes, while maintaining strict compliance with healthcare regulations.
We supply CO2 and high-pressure air cylinders for the power paintball industry with complete design, manufacturing and custom finishing capabilities.
We serve high-performance recreational markets with CO₂ and compressed air cylinders used in paintball, airsoft, scuba diving, and airgun systems. Our capabilities span custom anodizing, branding, and high-volume production for OEMs and specialty sports equipment providers.
