Gables Engineering

Gables Engineering, Inc. is an avionics maker based in Coral Gables, Florida. It makes products for air transport aircraft, business jets and regional aircraft. Its product groups include ADS-B units, communications, navigation, surveillance, audio, displays, and safety and specialty items.

The company began in 1946, when its founder started making control panels in a small storefront in Coral Gables. The founder combined manufacturing techniques with aviation electronics knowledge. Over time, Gables built a reputation for custom-engineered control panels, audio systems and related products.

Gables designs, qualifies, manufactures and supports its products under one roof. It says it relies on few outside suppliers. Its in-house facilities include a pick-and-place surface mount line, selective soldering, fixed-segment LCD manufacture, laser engraving and CNC machining.

The company maintains an active catalogue of hundreds of part numbers. It says over 100,000 of its units are in service with virtually every major operator on commercial aircraft built over the last 70 years.

Gables says every project milestone is delivered on time. Its mission is to consistently exceed customer expectations for on-time project development and 100% quality and delivery. Its quality statement commits it to strengthen its position as a highly respected supplier of innovative products to the aerospace industry. It also says it has industry-best expertise in human factors and lighting.
