Precision Gears, Made in Western New York

Gear Motions is a leading precision gear manufacturer with deep roots in the Buffalo-Niagara region. What began as Oliver Gear — the first exclusive gear manufacturing plant in Buffalo, founded in 1892 — has grown into a multi-location network of specialized gear shops united under one employee-owned family of companies.

Today, Gear Motions' Buffalo operations run out of a state-of-the-art facility in Tonawanda, NY, where Oliver Gear and Niagara Gear operate under one roof. The company manufactures custom cut and precision ground gears for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across industries worldwide, delivering tight tolerances, complex geometries, and repeatable quality at scale.

As an employee-owned company, our team has a vested interest in achieving the very best results — for our customers and for each other.
