Tifco Gage & Gear announces the purchase of property for a new gear facility. A former 61,000 square-foot newspaper facility will be torn down to make way for a 75,000 square-foot leading edge gear facility. Three companies will be housed within the building: Delta Gear—current parent company to Tifco Gage & Gear—will handle the aerospace gear operations; Tifco Gage & Gear will continue the production of master gears and gages; and Delta Testing and Inspection (DTI) will be a 17025 and NADCAP certified facility for gear inspection, nital etch, magnetic particle inspection, hydrogen embrittlement x-ray, and fluorescent penetrant inspection. In addition, gear roll testing, single flank roll testing, and full service transmission dynomometer testing will be provided.

“This is the next step in our plan to becoming the leading aerospace gear and gearbox provider in the industry,” according to Bob Sakuta, owner. “Construction will begin in April of 2010, and planned completion and move-in is expected to take place the following November.”
