Learn MoreWho We Are
GDI is a Canadian-engineered operator manufacturer focused on high-performance, long-lasting automation systems for the harshest environments.
We Build Trust.
Because in the real world, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a risk. That’s why we create operator systems that are strong, smart, and built for trust.
We believe the best systems are the ones you never have to think about. At GDI, performance should feel seamless. Reliability should be built in — not bolted on. And intelligence should live within every motion — not buried behind menus or flashy lights.
Doors shouldn’t just open — they should move with precision, purpose, and peace of mind.
That’s why we built GDI Garage Door Operators from the ground up — to eliminate failure-prone systems and replace them with smarter, stronger solutions for car washes, warehouses, government facilities, and custom industrial applications.
Our mission is simple: to give professionals a system that just works — cycle after cycle, year after year. And we stand behind every unit we build, because reliability isn’t a feature — it’s our foundation.
We don’t just make garage door operators. We make the ones professionals trust most.
