About GB Remanufacturing
Our History
GB Remanufacturing, Inc. began operations in 1986. The company, founded by William Kitching and his son Michael Kitching, remains family owned and operated.
The company's first product line was choke pull-offs and was offered to carburetor remanufacturers and part suppliers. GB expanded its product line to include throttle position sensors, mixture control solenoids, and other carburetor components based on customer feedback and demand.
Seeing the future was fuel injection, GB developed a remanufactured fuel injector line which was released in 1990. Since then, GB has focused on expanding its coverage and product lines to include over 900 SKU's which cover over 20,000 vehicle applications. As a result, GB has established itself as the market leader for remanufactured fuel injectors.
