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. In the mid-1990s, rushgears.com™ eliminated the stock gear program and returned to producing custom gears made to order. To better reflect our "rush service," we officially changed our trade name to Rush Gears Inc. on January 1, 1998. Today the 4th and 5th generations of the business continue to produce gears for prototypes, replacement parts, and OEM production runs. Rushgears.com™ looks forward to serving the needs of industry for the next 100 years.
