Gillette Air Conditioning Company (GAC) was named ACCA’s 2023 Commercial Contractor of


the Year during the ACCA 2023 Conference and Expo in New Orleans, LA. The company, which has been in business for 64 years, is a standout in its market area


for the processes they have in place that its competition doesn’t. For example, the San Antonio-based company is the only HVAC contractor in the area that fabricates the ductwork it uses on projects, using state-of- the automated equipment to enable just-in-time delivery.

“The only thing we buy is flex duct – our sheet


metal fabrication shop is our biggest draw for people to select us,” says Katelyn Machen, GAC’s human resource manager. Machen’s grandpar- ents Marjorie and Vincent Gillette, Sr., founded the company in 1959. GAC provides sheet metal work for all types of


projects, ranging from light commercial, tenant improvements, large commercial ventilation sys- tems, clean rooms – “and everything in between,” she says. “We have the ability to fabricate custom fit-


tings as needed and can make all pieces required for our projects, with just-in- time delivery,” Machen says. “We minimize trade stacking and manpower spikes on projects, which results in a safer project completed to the highest quality that is on time and on budget.”
