EXCELLENCE WITHOUT EXCEPTION

Every production process we perform turns on this principle, and is backed by uncompromised auditing, testing, quality review and packaging…from initial blanks and tools to production and final inspection.

Achieving world class gear quality is the direct result of Forest City Gear’s investment in machines, employees, and management systems, which result in total customer satisfaction. We believe we have one of the best equipped gear shops in the world. This includes both equipment and employees, a legacy of Forest City Gear for over 45 years.

We manufacture gears for diverse industries and a wide range of product applications throughout the world. Our gears are in telescopes and tractors, artificial elbows and aircraft, military lasers and medical examining tables, printers and plotters, power tools and dental drills, as well as the space station to name just a few. We even make gears for our competitors.

When it comes to fine- and medium-pitch custom gears, the world comes to Forest City Gear for the best.

Sure, we are passionate about gear manufacturing, leading edge technology and customer satisfaction. That’s our blueprint for success every day for every order with every gear. World class quality medium- and fine-pitch gears are the result.
