During Rich Piselli’s tenure with the AGMA Foundation, the president of Piselli Enterprises, Inc. dedicated his efforts to enhancing the scholarship program. “I wanted to give back to the gear industry because there weren’t many young people entering it, and I understood the financial burden of college. Our aim was to support the next generation of gear engineers and keep them on track,” he explained.
Years later, Piselli continues to support the AGMA Foundation Student Scholarship Fund through his company’s own “Give Back” initiative program. As of 2025, “Give Back” contributes two percent of every qualifying in-stock gear equipment purchase to the scholarship fund. To date, over $855,000 in eligible gear machine sales has resulted in more than $21,000 in scholarship money. The initiative applies exclusively to qualifying in-stock machines that are wholly owned by Piselli Enterprises and sold to AGMA members.

From the outside, Gallmar Industries, nestled into an Oshkosh, WI, neighborhood, looks like any unassuming, medium-sized gear shop. Then take a plant tour with Gallmar’s VP of Operations Kenan Zolota—and prepare to be amazed. The facility stretches on like the Army’s warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, with everything from gear cutting to heat treat, gear grinding to inspection, all under one roof. Gallmar’s breadth of product line is in evidence too: defense-related transmission gears, 60-in. diameter internal gears for mining equipment, axle components for fire/ rescue trucks five feet in length, right down to a bin of brass ammunition casings that Zolota says are a special order.
Machine Tool Builders Inc. (MTB) has added a high-speed, high-precision Chamfering and Deburring Machine to its family of new gear production machines.
