The Sky Is the Limit for IGW US

Almost 20 years ago, the very first rail gearboxes were delivered for US customers in cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and more.

These projects established IGW’s strong foundation in the US market and since that time there have never been any failures reported for our gearboxes.

A New Plant Is Born

Officially, the Zanesville plant in Ohio became an IGW US branch in 2014, having previously been part of Omco (another part of the BMT Group). However, as stated above, work on the first project for the US began many years earlier. At the time, our team at the Zanesville plant consisted of four people. Today that number has grown to 21 as more and bigger projects have been taken on.

Thanks to that ever-growing number, we have already been able to expand our working hours. Initially, we were able to work one 8-hour shift per day whereas right now, we have been able to plan in a second shift. Aside from expanding the working hours, hiring more people has also allowed us to grow more organically. Indeed, we can now assign people specifically to project and sales management while also expanding our planning and purchasing team.
