Overton Gear Corporation has recently completed a high–tech makeover of its brand to better reflect its state–of–the–art facilities, high–tech processes, and global capabilities. The makeover includes a shortened name, a new logo, and an updated Web site.
"The need for a new identity was one of the action items that came as a result of our shift to 100 percent employee ownership," says Louis Ertel, president and CEO. "We wanted a new identity that would symbolize our renewed focus on infrastructure investment and our achievement of a thoroughly modern manufacturing facility."
The company has been adding new capabilities to meet customers’ gearing needs, including new gear cutting, tooth grinding, inspection equipment, and a 10,000 square–foot expansion of its heat treating facility. What hasn’t changed is the company’s dedication to exceptional quality and superior service. "As an employee–owned company, everyone at Overton Gear has a vested interest in making sure we meet our customers’ quality, price, service, and delivery requirements," Ertel says.
Overton Gear Corporation has been supplying high–quality gearing for more than 50 years. The company specializes in custom gears for the marine, off–shore, locomotive, mining, wind energy, transportation, and construction industries, as well as OEMs across various markets. Located in Addison, Illinois, Overton is an ISO 9001:2000 registered gear supplier. Its full–service offerings include manufacture, inspection, heat treat, and hard finishing of spur, helical, and bevel gears.
