Milwaukee Gear Joins Regal Beloit

Milwaukee Gear Co., a leading manufacturer of precision gears and drives based in Milwaukee, has become the newest member of the Regal Beloit family. Regal Beloit Corporation, the parent company of Durst, announced on February 3 that it had purchased the 94-year-old company renowned for its application engineering excellence and high-precision manufacturing processes.

“Our recent acquisition of Milwaukee Gear strengthens our Mechanical offerings and increases our presence in the growing oil and gas space,” Gliebe says.
