Welcome Aboard

Since 1968, Charter Machine Company, formerly GEC, has evolved from a family-owned machine shop into a trusted leader in sludge processing equipment. Originally focused on the printing industry, GEC expanded its capabilities beyond large and small run machine work to include in-house product development (like the GEC Turret Rewinder) in 1974. Today, leveraging decades of experience in liquids/solids separation and the acquisition of Roediger's technology, Charter Machine Company specializes in providing exceptional dewatering solutions with personalized service, dedicated support, and unwavering reliability – values instilled in our family heritage.

Our journey began humbly,
but our impact is mighty
