Aerospace Quality Certified aerospace-grade gear manufacturer with end-to-end production capability from gear blank to final inspection. Automated equipment and computer-directed processes enable precise, repeatable results aligned with customer specifications and schedules. Quality foundations include AS9100 Rev C, ISO 9001 quality management, and ISO17025 calibration labs, plus in-house SPC-based monitoring to support traceability and regulatory compliance.
Turnkey Gear Maker Turnkey gear production across hobbing, shaping, grinding, and inspection reduces supplier fragmentation for aerospace and precision-machined components. The integrated process minimizes lead times and ensures consistent quality across the full gear lifecycle, making First Gear a convenient single source for customers with tight schedules.
In-House Metrology In-house metrology capabilities include calibration of master gears and spline gauges under ISO17025 accreditation. This provides traceable measurement certainty, lowers customer calibration burdens, and offers a value-add in quality assurance during supplier qualification and qualification cycles.
Agile Niche Supplier Small-to-mid sized, specialized gear maker with a focus on precision and customization. The size and agility can be an advantage for aerospace, robotics, and machinery customers seeking flexible lead times, rapid quotes, and tailored gear solutions through a trusted specialist rather than a large incumbent.
Digital Lead Growth Digital presence supports lead generation and procurement readiness with a Squarespace site and online documentation. The business can leverage online certs, process documentation, and spec sheets to speed RFQ responses and win aerospace opportunities by showcasing compliance and capability.
