As the year draws to a close, I’d like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the continued support of Gear Technology’s readers, advertisers and authors. Thank you for being an integral part of the gear community. This holiday season, as I reflect on the challenges, triumphs, and growth of the past year, I am reminded of the shared passion we all have for advancing the field of gear manufacturing.

Your dedication to pushing the boundaries of innovation, excellence and precision in your work is what inspires the Gear Technology and AGMA team every day. Whether you’re engineering the future of gears, refining manufacturing processes, or contributing to the development of cutting-edge solutions, your commitment fuels the progress of our industry—and we’re proud to be a part of that journey with you.

This year, we have strived to bring you the most relevant, insightful, and forward-thinking content to keep you informed and inspired. From the latest technological advancements to expert advice and industry trends, our mission remains clear: to support your ongoing learning and growth.

This holiday season, we hope you find time to unwind, recharge, and enjoy precious moments with loved ones. We look forward to continuing our work together in the coming year, bringing you more valuable resources, stories, and insights that support your work and the continued evolution of the gear industry.

We have a ton in store for you next year, including completely redesigned websites and a refreshed focus on digital content. We have a full slate of content scheduled, including our annual State-of-the-Gear-Industry survey in January, and we’re already looking forward to MPT Expo in Detroit next fall.

Hopefully you are also excited about the prospects of 2025. I know that many of you have big plans for your businesses, your careers and the new technologies you’re looking to implement. May the New Year bring you success, joy, and fulfillment both personally and professionally. 

Thank you once again for your trust and for being a vital part of our community.
