formerly known as Globe Gear Company was founded in August 1919 by George Johnston and his father, Thomas.
They began by offering custom gears and machine parts. The business has remained in the family ever since.
In the late 1950's we shifted our focus to producing off the shelf stock gears sold through a nationwide network of distributors.
