'Nearly all gears go into a housing, which is a casting or have a leg or a dog, which is a forging. Many of our customers have expressed an interest in our sourcing these parts for them', says Richard Jones, business development manager.

The new contract will be sourced from a specialist investment casting supplier in China who can meet all the specialised material and testing requirements. All items are fully X-rayed and dye penned to ensure that there are no cracks in the component; and fully certificated product paperwork is provided in English. This new service has already proved successful with Mini Gears' existing customers.
