Product News provides extensive information on products used in the design, manufacturing, processing, inspection and use of gears or gear drives, as well as new gear products in the marketplace. In each issue, we choose one or more items to expand upon. But rather than recycling press releases, we try to talk to the manufacturer, so we can explain to our readers why a new product is important to the industry.

Industry News brings readers up to date on mergers, promotions, trends, statistics, expansions and other information relevant to doing business in the gear industry. As with Product News, we expand on the more significant items in each issue.

Events covers both upcoming and recent trade shows, educational seminars and other events. This section also contains our popular Technical Calendar, which includes short listings of upcoming events, complete with contact information and prices.
