The business 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 the company shifted their focus to producing off the shelf stock gears sold through a nationwide network of distributors.
In the mid 1990’s Rush Gears eliminated the stock gear program and returned to producing custom gears made to order. The company name was officially changed to Rush Gears Inc. on January 1, 1998 to better reflect their “rush service” of custom made to order gears.
Today the 4th and 5th generations of the business continue to produce gears for prototypes, replacement parts and OEM production runs.
Rush Gears looks forward to serving the needs of industry for the next 100 years.
Classified as an essential business it remains open and fully operational during these uncertain times.
