Gerard Daniel Worldwide

Gerard Daniel Worldwide was founded in 1952 by two German immigrants, Gerard and Ruth Daniel, who began distributing wire cloth from Germany to customers in the US. Their basic message was “good quality and exceptionally competitive prices”.

In the decades that followed, the Daniels expanded their sourcing network to include the very best quality weavers in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China and Gerard Daniel became known as the “wire cloth superstore”. Today we still are known as the largest distributor of wire cloth in North America, with 5000 items held in stock at any one time.

In the 1980s, we expanded into new markets. Adding new facilities and products to our portfolio also gave us the opportunity to expand our footprint globally. In 1990, we acquired The Wire Weavers Ireland, gaining the capability to weave technically advanced sound modulation acoustic mesh and service our European customers.

Similarly, we invested in new manufacturing capabilities in Canada and throughout the United States. Further acquisitions brought us deep filtration know-how in the wire mesh space, the capability to draw our own wire and the ability to service the Construction and Insulation markets.

We committed to growing our business organically by investing in our engineering capabilities and setting up completely new business units. Engineered solutions and Separator products division both provided our customers solutions they were looking for.

The latest addition to the Gerard Daniel capability line was Langley Wire Cloth, adding to the capabilities of our growing filtration customer base. Langley advanced Gerard Daniel to one of the industry’s best complete wire mesh filter manufacturers, making many of the base components in a filtration system.

Our growth has accelerated us to an experienced filtration and separation solution provider. We collaborate with our customers to engineer the solutions they need to solve their technology challenges. We supply a wide range of industries including aerospace, vehicles, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, oil, gas, mining, and industrial applications, providing solutions that range from small coffee strainers at one end of the technology spectrum, through to fine particulate fluid filtration and high-frequency sound modulation in aircraft engines at the other.
