Milwaukee Gear's history began in 1918 when Emil G. Borisch and Walter C. Kohls founded the two-man company in a small, downtown Milwaukee one story brick building. They were the company's salesmen, machinists, order clerks and product inspectors.

They delivered orders themselves by horse and wagon, taking care to learn each customer's needs. No matter how large or small an order, Borisch and Kohls remained focused on their policy of quality and service. We are proud that many of Milwaukee Gear's earliest customers still buy from us. Through each decade, we have developed cost-effective production methods that have enabled us to provide the highest quality and service at the best possible price.

In 1953, our present 180,000 square foot plant was completed in suburban Milwaukee. Reinvestment has been constant, ever broadening the company's capabilities for precision, efficiency and capacity. Today Milwaukee Gear produces gears of all types for companies worldwide.

Our company tradition of quality and service continues today in the teamwork exhibited by our engineers, designers, customer service and machinists.

At Milwaukee Gear, we recognize that our success is the result of customer satisfaction. To our faithful customers, we say thank you. To new companies seeking high quality, high performance gears, we say welcome. Give Milwaukee Gear your toughest orders -- we're the company that knows gears.
