  As the CEO and founder of InGear, I have been instrumental in recruiting a team of engineering professionals, many of whom are the leaders in their field. The equipment we produce is at least equivalent to that offered by Flender, David Brown, Hansen, SEW, Voith, Falk, Bevini and other industry leaders without compromising quality, efficiency or international standards.Much of Australia’s heavy-duty machinery is more than 30 years old. Parts are increasingly difficult to come by, and ageing equipment means more breakdowns, downtime and loss of revenue.In the past, when gearboxes failed there were limited options; repair the old one which never works satisfactorily and is very expensive, buy a new standard "out of the catalogue gearbox" which means altering all the foundations which is totally totally unacceptable! InGear Engineering will provide a new, fully warranted gearbox in exactly the same "footprint" as the failed unit at less cost than a repair!
