Recently, female colleagues at Banks Power were invited to a beautiful luncheon in celebration of International Women’s Day. Hosted by our Chief Operating Officer, Liz Bruny, the event was an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of the incredible women in our company. Attendees received thoughtful gifts, including a book filled with practical, science-based tips and strategies to help women advance in the workplace. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing HR team — Barbara Matthews, Denise Lopez, Jennifer Mckiernan and Kim Dorenfeld — for orchestrating this great event. A special shout out to Kevin McCutcheon and Matt Hill, two leaders from Banks Technologies, for their gracious service at the event, making the luncheon even more enjoyable.

About us
Over 60 years of engineering milestones for Gale Banks Engineering founder and president Gale Banks began at age 14 with an engine teardown of his mother's '31 Ford Model A that resulted in an increase of more than 40 horsepower. Just two years later, in 1958, Gale was officially in the engine business, first in Lynwood, California, then in San Gabriel. He remains the hands-on president to the 200-employee-strong manufacturing and engineering complex that today occupies 12 acres in the San Gabriel Valley town of Azusa. Gale Banks Engineering is known far and wide as the premier designer and manufacturer of power-enhancing products for diesel- and gas-powered trucks, motorhomes, and sport-utility vehicles. Since the 1960s, Gale's futuristic high-performance engines have broken new ground while shattering world records. His marine engines propelled racing boats to national and world championships, and his marine engines were chosen by the U.S. military. After decades of racing, Banks Power is still the only company to have set records at Bonneville in both automobile and truck classes.

Nearly 700 attended Banks Friends & Family Day 2024 this past Saturday. The entire street was shut down and lined with amazing trucks, Jeeps, Broncos, sports cars, and vintage vehicles. Invited guests indulged in food truck fare, handmade ice cream, and the coldest beer while watching The Truck Show Podcast's Sean Holman interview guests, including the man of the hour, Gale Banks. SoCal Gladiators brought out nearly a dozen lifted monsters, and among the 88 Rotors' collections was a fully built '24 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Jeep JL. The row of Fords included DMAX Ryno's giant F-450 and Bernhardt Leighter's Overland-ready F-250. RAM and GM were well represented by local off-roaders. Thanks to partners like Toyo Tires, Koch-Chemie detail supplies, Knott's Berry Farm, and others, raffle winners took home exciting prizes. The event is just one way of giving back to team members and supporters who help to make Banks one of the most influential brands in both aftermarket and defense.
