In 1910, mr. Remi Gits established Gits Brothers Manufacturing Co. in Chicago. The first products were lubricating devices and oil cups. In 1930, the had a manufacturing capacity of 100.000 oil cups per day.

In 1944, as the story goes, mr. Remi Gits was traveling via train to Chicago after vacationing in Colorado. He was forced to stay overnight in Creston, Iowa because of a terrible snowstorm and being overwhelmed by the hospitality toward him and the helpfulness of the Creston people he decided to open an assembly plant in Creston. In February of 1945 Gits began operation in Creston in the old junio high school building with 6 oil cup assembly machines and the same number of employees.

During the years their manufacturing program grew. A new line was developped in 1991; pressure, vacuum and combination pressure/vacuum vents.

Quality has always been at the forefront at Gits. They became ISO 9001 certified in 1994 and were one of the first 100 companies in the US to achieve QS 9000 status in 1997.
