J B Gury was founded in 1886 by Jean Baptiste Gury, who had recently immigrated to the United States from France.  This was a golden age of invention throughout the country, and Mr. Gury was quick to see that in the apparel industry there was a need for a better way to cut fabric.  His response to this need was the invention of the first vertical knife cutting machine which allowed for multiple layers to be cut at the same time.  This type of vertical knife machine is still used extensively throughout the world over 130 years later.
