Gibson sold the business to its current CEO Joe O’Brien. Under O’Brien’s leadership, the company grew by 357 percent over the next 20 years. The ability to successfully respond to corporations’ evolving needs, provide solutions that work, and offer a broad and valuable knowledge base have become the benchmarks of Gibson Engineering’s enduring success.
