Kleiss Gears has traded in their 3,000 square foot facility in Centerville, MN, for a 14,000 square foot building in Grantsburg, WI.
According to president Rod Kleiss, the plan is to add both staff and new capabilities for gear molding.
The company plans to develop more automated production capabilities as well. Currently, they design and prototype gear with the aim of eventually getting into gear production work.
展ere also playing with some pretty remarkable materials,・Kleiss says. 展ere using PEEK (polyetherether ketone), which can replace lighter duty metal gears. You can never really replace metal when its fully recognized but you can modify gear shapes. Were continuing to evolve in the field of plastic gearing too.・
