Forest City Gear

Booth #2513
Jared Lyford, Director of Manufacturing Operations

Visitors to the Forest City Gear booth often arrive with drawings in hand looking for solutions to their toughest application challenges. In many cases, the gears they really need don’t yet exist. Their journey to the right gear for the job often begins right then and there. So, we take a different approach from many exhibitors at the M+PT Expo. Rather than demonstrating off-the-shelf solutions or displaying commodity products, we will have a team of experts available for consultations as well as plenty of examples of fine- and medium-pitch precision gears that customers throughout the industry rely on us to produce.
