Forest City Gear, an industry-leading manufacturer of fine—and medium-pitch custom gears, is pleased to announce the groundbreaking of its new warehouse on October 21. The 50’ x 100’ climate-controlled warehouse will store finished goods while prioritizing storage space in the existing footprint for in-process items for Cut Teeth Only jobs. 

 “With this new building, we will be able to be more efficient with our footprint in both the FCG main building and Roscoe Works building, as we will no longer need to shuffle physical product storage to facilitate daily operation,” says Jared Lyford, Forest City Gear Director of Operations. 

“FCG continues to grow and serve our customers. Over the years, we have cannibalized all storage space and part-holding areas for production space. Many of our customers place blanket purchase orders with moving target dates for releases—we must be prepared to ship parts on demand. Of course, this requires secure, climate-controlled storage space for finished goods we no longer have available,” says Forest City Gear, President Kika Young. “I am excited to build this warehouse facility on our existing campus to be able to serve our customers better and provide the flexibility they require. The future is bright, and we are excited to continue to grow our business in the best way possible to support customers.”
