Blog, Company Profile, MFG2023

Godbersen Metal Works LLC was started in Spencer in 2019 by Kent and Jill Godbersen. With the local workforce and available location, the Iowa Lakes Corridor was the right fit for this business. Since then, the company has grown from a few-employee startup to 20 people. GMetal is still a contract manufacturer that produces parts for various OEM customers throughout the Midwest, primarily Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas.

GMetal seeks employees with a good attitude and are willing to learn new skills. Those looking for a growing company can find a nice benefit package and four-day work week at Godbersen Metal Works. Learn more about the company and employment opportunities at www.godbersenmetal.com.

Thoughts on the Corridor

"The Iowa Lakes Corridor serves as an incredible conduit between business, economic development, and government. Their tireless advocacy of their region and member communities (and their diverse needs) helps to keep the Lakes region at the forefront and top-of-mind in my work."

— Kolby DeWitt, Outreach Director, US Senate

Thoughts on the Corridor

"The Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation has always been the go-to place to find ways of helping current business and future business. There isn’t much they will not do to help, including showing property or finding housing for new employees that come to work in the area. The staff at the Corridor is top notch and very caring."

— Donavon Wunschel, Midwestern Mechanical/Spencer City Council

Thoughts on the Corridor

"After our initial (BRE) meeting, Joanne and I started discussing challenges that we were facing and warehouse space was at the top of our issues. She asked me if we had interest in taking a look at the Daily Reporter building as they were wanting to possibly downsize their location. Jo did all of the leg work in arranging a meeting between Doll’s and the Daily Reporter. She even was present the day that we looked at the facility. Basically, without Jo, we could of possibly never been told that a solution to our warehouse needs was 4 blocks away! Jo checked in several times throughout the process and was always asking if there was anything else she could help with. We are very happy with our purchase and the growth opportunities that this additional space will provide us. We can’t thank you enough!"
