Company

M.L. Gatewood Company has been in business since 1962. Located in Hillsboro, Oregon, the company manufactures needle-jet trim nozzles used on paper machines throughout the world. Since Mr. Thomas Moore bought the business from its founder and inventor, Maxey Gatewood in 1962, M.L. Gatewood Co. has grown to be the leader in this small niche of paper mill equipment.

  • We understand how important the quality of our nozzles are to successful paper machine operation. All nozzles are hydro tested two separate times at 225 – 250 psi to assure quality performance. Each nozzle is individually inspected by one of our long term experienced employees for total stream integrity.
  • We know small parts make big contributions to the success of your mill. Our nozzles are hand-tested to ensure nozzle integrity, stream precision and performance quality. Our edge trimming machines and water supply systems are precisely engineered to help operators make safe adjustments during production.
