Robert Bergmann, 75, a former president of the American Gear Manufacturers Association, died June 10. Bergmann was CEO of Abart Gear & Machine Co. for 17 years before starting a consulting firm. On the memorial website his family created at www.geocities.com/jmahn44/RBERGMANN, Fred Young of Forest City Gear said, ?On a personal basis,I recall his words of wisdom to me as I rotated through the AGMA hierarchy and as the president of a gear company. We shall miss our friend, but know he is where there is never a rejected gear or a mean customer.?
